I'm planning on getting a laptop. The thing is I don't know which one I want. I prefer a mini one but anything will do. All I'm using it for is basically Facebook Myspace and Itunes

Well keep in touch with a Acer Aspire mini-notebook. Radio Shack offers the interesting Acer Aspire mini-notebook with built in 3G broadband connectivity for $99. That's a hefty $250 savings off the regular Aspire, and it has broadband wireless built-in  As with a cell phone, this deal requires a 2 year contract. At $60 per month for the 3G broadband, the real total cost is $1539 for the first two years. If you want wireless broadband that's pretty much the deal, but it is a pricey lunch in the end.
