Welcome to the mainstream: subnotebook from Sylvania
It'll come in white, yellow and pink, and hopefully cost under $500.
Update: Fixed some mistakes and dumb assumptions of mine. Thanks, Beth!
Sylvania to enter expanding netbook market [Out of the Box]

80 gig drive - that's great for some people but not for battery life.
Hmmm, I wonder if you could buy the XP version and do the refusal of Microsoft license thing to get $50 back. Then install Ubuntu yourself, making the laptop cost $250?
"It'll come in white, yellow and pink," but the picture shows a black unit? Or is that a very dark shade of white?
Why does it seem like every subnotebook comes in pink? i dont think even 14 year old girls want a pink one.
Sylvania has neither confirmed the price of the netbook nor that Wal-Mart will be selling it. I've updated the post to clarify this:

Thanks Ross. It's NOT AT WAL-MART and it's NOT $299. By the way, I'm getting a pink one (but I'm not 14!)

Any netbook I buy will be in Pink. I am That Guy.
ubuntu at walmart would make my brain hurt..
like that time Conan O'Brien did the last hours in hitler's bunker, as enacted by puppies and kittens.
I can come in white and yellow (well, really more of a grayish-yellow) for a lot less than $500, and if that's the budget that you're allowing, I'd happily work on pink.
comment #10 - thats really gross -
and also, is ugly cheaper to produce? why do cheap things always look so cheap?

It looks like the smallest cheapest laptop you can get with a 30 gig HDD which is enough for me to want one
