This coupled with power over wireless technology means you could charge your laptop by sitting it on a POW enabled desk. If the technology is open enough for different manufacturers of gadgets to use another's POW stations, you could see POW enabled tables in public areas like cafes and restaurants.
As for the topic, Netbooks are ideal for it. I'm always taking mine with me to the bog and to bed with me. Its got several e-books on it which is better than actual paper in that it produces its own light source so after I'm done i don't need to get out of bed and turn the light off, and i can just sit it next to me instead of straining my arms holding a book up. First thing i do when i wake up is connect to the internet and for some strange reason talk about jaffa cakes on twitter. Then i get up and deal with other normal morning things.
Wireless internet: My desktop is far away from the router, I've no choice but to connect it via wireless. It serves as a file server to the rest of the network and as a media server to upnp enabled devices. This is less than ideal however if needs must.
Hoi Zaeme.
