Not the point. I don't care how small the USB hub is, carrying around
extra devices negates the point of having an all-in-one netbook. The
idea is that it has everything you're likely to need in one package
you can pull out at a moment's notice and put away just as quickly.
The more wires you need to hook up or devices you pull out, the longer
that takes.
Having only one USB port and no ethernet doesn't save space on the Air
at all. In fact, the air has a lot more room for more ports than these
smaller, lower-budget netbooks, and yet the netbooks have at least two
USB ports (usually 3), ethernet, and more. All in a space 2/3 the size
of the air.

Too bad in the case of the air that takes the only USB port. Having
to carry around a lot of other devices, such as USB hubs or
adapters, negates the purpose doesn't it?

Hi,
Get a usb to ethernet adapter. That is a good felosify. If you
aren't going to use ethernet very much, best to save that space.
Thanks,

The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a
thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that
cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be
impossible to get at or repair.
