I would love to see a fm transmitter, I go mobile in the car with my netbook all the time, barely hear the audio on it. Ive got a plugin Fm transmitter that works good, but the batteries go dead all the time, and another appendage added on to the netbook, make it that much more difficult to move around.

[...] of the items I enumerated earlier on my post about “How would you extend the netbook?” was an equally portable and lightweight external optical media [...]

develop a netbook that would run with windows vista(64bit computing), since XP is becoming obsolete and microsoft is looking forward on developing new OS…

3G/HSPDA and bluetooth would be good…

@yuga ouch. i guess it does put it toe to toe with laptops in terms of price

Calvin mentioned touchscreen. I had a 15-minute date with some tablet (an asian brand, sounded japanese), and I have to agree. A touch screen would be really nice in a netbook. It doesn’t have to rotate and transform into a tablet. Makes navigating the desktop a nicer experience.

Have they thought of dumping the trackpad for touchscreen? Double tap instead of double click

Support for firewire would be great.

@Nikko - the Asus N10 is said to be priced at around Php40,000 or higher.

Well, ASUS is coming up with the N10 netbook. And it sports Altec Lansing speakers, HDMI out, and Nvidia GeForce Go 9300M GS 256MB graphics card. Anything more would probably find the netbook toe to toe with mainstream laptops

a longer battery life would be the great netbook extender.

maximize functionality and portability.
and touchscreens. the one who does everything right without raising the price will be the winner, and asus may just be the one to do that. we should applaud asus for starting this revolution.

Expand it? I hope they first get their Linux-based netbooks to completely work: webcam (w/ good audio/video recording), touchpad, keyboard layout.

I mean, without requiring the netbook owner to go through some manual upgrade voodoo just to get things optimized.

Now if you really want to expand it, make it flexible so it can sometimes feel like a regular paper notebook.

i would like it if touchscreen would be a common feature for netbooks.

If I had to pick one, I’d go for the extended battery since I wouldn’t want to keep on charging when I’m on the go

make the storage external
faster processor (processing of data, logical and analytical calculations)
more ram (storage instead of using the virtual ram of HDD)
more video ram (processing of image data to help the processor. it can also be used as a temporary storage)
