Eying the Lenovo S10 at the moment, but here are my requirements:
Express Card slot (54mm preferred, but 34mm acceptable).
Cheap
Optional:
Ability to run from automotive power (~11-14v), either native or with adapter (no dc->ac->dc shenanigans).
Thats about it. I'm building an embedded linux appliance into an automobile and even the rinky-est netbook will meet the cpu/memory requirements, it's just that pesky express-card. I'd prefer as small as possible, so while the S10 looks a little on the large side they can also be had very cheaply on ebay from the looks of it (Several models with simple cosmetic damage going for right at $100USD). Battery life is irrelevant, though I'd like to keep the power draw low.
I was trying to build this application with several linux compatible routers when it struck me that netbooks were not a whole hell of a lot larger and significantly more powerful than your average WRT or netgear box for a similar price.
