We just picked up a netbook for Chiho to use for studying. We picked up a ASUS 1000HE from BIC Camera and took advantage of a promotional from EMOBILE. They are a cellular data provider and if you sign up for a two year data contract, they discount the netbook - just like buying a cell phone, really. The list price of the laptop was just under $450 USD and by signing up for the data plan, the cost was about $30 instead.
EMOBILE's service is Tokyo is really pretty good and they offer 7.3mbs connections. I routinely speed test mine at over 5mbs which seems very good to me. The coverage area is cities only, not up on the mountains, but it covers all of the areas we are likely to travel.
