Looks like a better build netbook than the Dell Mini 10v (I like the arrangement of the keyboard and trackpad on the Toshiba), but you need to replace the wifi card (people seem to be using a Dell card). The Toshiba site did not discuss battery options - any1 know the average runtime?
I have been thoroughly impressed with the netbook installer software and 10.6.1 on my Dell mini 10v. Honestly, I've had worse installs on a macbook pro.
Is there a rerfurb store for the Toshiba machines? If not, that's also a factor in favor of the mini 10v (hard to beat 15% or 20% off a refurb price for an already inexpensive machine).

yeah, price is also an issue, I got a "previously ordered new" Dell Mni 10v for ~$230, and the Toshiba I saw at stapes was 399 +tax
I saw those sites, but the google/code side does not list the Toshiba as supported, so I asked if anyone tried to install it on Toshiba using the NetBookMaker method
