Definitely relevant. I've just created a "netbook" tag for keeping track of discussions about the little critters. If I end up with a netbook, I'll certainly look at those issues, and I can always do things like simulating the netbook screen by making my programme windows the same size as it.
The first thing that occurred to me is that I hope you have one of the netbooks with a SSD, otherwise isn't it potentially damaging to the computer to use it in a moving environment? Secondly, I think there are ways of navigating links using the keyboard instead of the mouse. I haven't started exploring those yet, but if you look up accessibility for blind users, it should be in that area.
What sort of accessibility are you thinking of with regard to screens? Text appearance? Getting webpages to fit, which is even harder if you increase the font size? Anything else?
