There was a thread about this a while ago: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1287909 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1287909 The blog post that thread links to is worth a read. I personally do some Django development on a netbook and have found it excellent, especially while commuting. I have not had a problem with being under powered (I don't know how Android development would compare) and the only downside has been the lack of screen realestate. Thankfully I bought a netbook with a reasonable keyboard size (Asus Eee PC S101).
