Design costs aside, the cost of putting an RJ45 NIC on something was 
around $10 several years ago. I suspect the marginal (per-unit) cost to 
OEM's is awfully close to nil.

Besides, what about hotels with wired but no wireless? What about people 
like me that strongly prefer wired to wireless? ;-)

You're probably right that netbooks will drop RJ45 first, but I suspect 
not for a while, unless form factor is the problem.
