I have one of those super mini usb bt already. But it's just one of those things that you rarely need / want to bring with you....but comes in handy when you do need it. Ie. a quick transfer of a photo from your phone.
It does look like the 1215N will include the BT 3.0, just that the one Memory Express shipped doesn't come with it. I'm not buying from them anyways :P
I'm now leaning more towards the 1215N for a more comfortable keyboard / typing experience. But reading reports... the D525 Atom is really hurting the battery life, which was one of the primary reason I'm in the market for a netbook. The 1215P does offer the same N550 chip as the 1015PN... but it lacks the Ion2 part. Argh  |

Personally I don't find it that useful. Maybe if it was able to surf web + a full version of MSN, then I would use it.

It can do word processing and web surf, and everything else that Windows can run plus more.
It is capable of surfing the Internet, as a matter of fact, it's built-in with Chrome. It uses a program called Pidgin to connect with MSN, since Microsoft never made a version of MSN Messenger for Linux.

Just that... I would much prefer a full version of MSN (where I can add on MsgPlus),
have a physical chat log saved...etc  | |
