I would also like to see smartbooks that include ALL of the ?typical? smartphone hardware (GPS, accelerometer, digital compass, etc.). Then, running an OS like Android, you would be able to use location-based apps, make cell phone calls, send SMS, have automatic screen rotation, etc. This would REALLY differentiate ?smartbooks? from ?netbooks? (which are basically just small & cheap notebooks).
