They had the Acer and HP at the shop. Same price and identical specs. Need something now, and Acer was out of stock, so HP it was. So far, totally great for a $300 machine, exactly what we need.

I've seen MSI Winds, Acer Aspires, HP Minis, Toshiba NB100s, and although the HP doesn't have the best specs it looks the money and performs quite well.
There are some Atom mainboards coming out soon that will have NForce chipsets on them, making these puppies graphically a lot more powerful. There are some out that have 3G modules built in as well, which is excellent now that 3G data is slowly dropping in price.
The best one i've seen was a 9" tablet one of my lawyer mates uses, a Fujitsu P1630. Sadly it's more like $3000, not $300.

I forgot to mention, some of them advertise what percentage size of a normal keyboard the device uses. You seriously want to get the biggest keyboard you can. The smaller ones, particularly the NB100 I tried, were insanely annoying to type on.

Just like Lukus, I have a Samsung NC10... I fucking love it.
It's pretty damned fast considering the size, and the battery lasts forever. I seriously leave it unplugged for up to 10 hours and it remains at 80%.
Also upgraded to 2gigs of ram, but I bought it from NewEgg.
