The heavily subsidized, "contract for N years" model has made its way to NetBooks. Have a look at this Best Buy Page:

This week, get the netbook for only $199.99 with 2-year activation with Verizon or AT&T, or for just $0.99 when you sign up for 2 years with Sprint. The netbook is also available without a contract for $389.99.

The trusty "give away the razor, sell the blades" model has cropped up again. While this is hardly a primary machine, it puts a laptop within range of just about anyone.
