It kinda fits the gap for me. In terms of functionality, it's a netbook pretty much. The only difference is it's got a smaller screen, and a touchscreen instead

  The only difference is it's got a smaller screen, and a touchscreen instead of keyboard. Which are huge differences. Sure, I've had an ssh client on my phone for about six years now (Sidekick II first, and now a G1), but I can't do work on my phone, even though it has a reasonable keyboard for such a small device. But, my Mini 9 is actually a pretty reasonable device for most of the work I do, up to and including development (though its obvious sweet spot is email and forums and such, which I do a lot of since support is a huge part of my business; and using the phone would be way too slow). I wouldn't consider it a replacement for the big 15" lappy or my desktop machine for serious development or graphics work or whatever, but when I am travelling light, it's exactly the right size and form-factor.
