Verizon Wireless to launching HP Mini 1151NR netbook on May 17th?

This seems like a deal designed for those who already thought about purchasing a netbook, but needed a understanding more to pushing the push button. Well, now you got it, though it would make more sense if Verizon could crack HP’s baby for hundred bucks. That would shuffle the trade much sweeter…
