Best Buy and Sprint have teamed up to offer the Compaq 1040DX netbook (a re-branded HP Mini 110) for only $0.99 with a two-year contract on Sprint's 3G wireless internet plan. You may have seen subsidized netbooks with internet plans on sale from wireless providers before, but at just under a buck this is obviously the cheapest yet. If you want to spend another $199, you can get it with Verizon or AT&T too, but then it's not such a great deal.
