Scribble Pad

This is what i would most use a netbook for. General notes out in the field, a photo or two (so lets have that camera detachable/steerable), a PDF reader, and some spreadsheet capability.

A docking station would be great for synchronising with other kit, but if push comes to shove I can manage with USB sticks.

The only thing holding me back from buying any of the available ones at the moment is battery life. I want to be able to go an entire 8 hour working day without access to mains power. Swapping battery packs while bouncing around in the back of a Landrover is simply not an option on a regular basis.
