The Netbook will cost $299.99 with a 2 year activation and data plan from AT&T. The Booklet is also available for $599 with out data plan ( a bit steep for a netbook we think).

With embedded 3G/HSPA and WiFi connectivity options and a weight of only 2.76lbs, the device will be extremely travel friendly.
