tnkgrl Mobile has upgraded her Acer Aspire One adding bluetooth functionality.
Basically, I connected a micro USB Bluetooth module (Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR) to a 5V trace (off in standby), a nearby ground trace, and the USB signals available on the mini PCIe card slot occupied by the WiFi card. The Bluetooth module was stripped, wrapped in Kapton tape and installed under the palm rest.
Expansys have just listed the M528 with 3G, GPS, 3mp cam for just 429 UK pounds (549 Euros) and in the U.S. for $689.
Looks like the dell netbook is suffering from an identity crisis. It keeps changing his name over and over again and can't decide whether it shows his face or not. Despite all rumos, there is no real info on a launch date.
What's new is that the Dell netbook will (probably) have a 3G option at purchase time. This make it my favourite so far.

Since HP Mini-Note 2133 has an Atheros chip, it opens up possibilities to use it as a portable wireless auditing device.
The Infiltrator is based on the HP 2133 Mini-Note ultra-portable laptop. The 2133 hardware platform has been modified to use an Atheros-based (AR5007) wireless card and been upgraded to 2Gb of RAM. This system boots a customized version of Kubuntu from an internal 120Gb HDD and supports encryption offload through the Padlock feature of the Via C7-M processor. The operating system has been modified to use the Wireless-Testing Linux kernel, pre-patched with everything needed to use the Aircrack-NG toolkit. All standard ACPI features are supported, including suspend-to-disk, suspend-to-ram, screen brightness, and volume control keys.
