As far as I am concerned an 11.6" machine is still a netbook as long as it uses low cost parts and can be sold for under $400. Once you add things like a DVD drive and a core2duo into a 12" machine, it becomes $799 and is no longer a netbook.
What if you add HDMI, though? I saw an HP 11.6" at Costco today but can't find anything about it online. About $700 IIRC, but a full Vista 64-bit machine with 4GB RAM installed.
