I am looking for the same but waiting for the E350 CPU's to become available. Asus 1215B is one of them but I guess it's not available in Kolkata yet :(

Well it might be better than the Atom one's but certainly not than Fusions. Can't tell about the Athlon Neo pal, waiting for others to comment..
All I can tell is that for the above mentioned reasons you stated, (same for me if less the Music and Movie watching part, the third one is most important to me :) ) even my current phone (Wave) is enough, but if we do get the Fusions in short time then I think it's worth waiting, but never for long as I hate waiting :)

But the fusion one are way too costly to consider.Sony selling fusion netbook @rs 26999.But at that price lots of good laptops are there to fulfill my above mentioned reasons.
