Interesting Netbook Mods

"Thanks to their utilitarian design and low prices, netbooks are inspiring a booming subculture of hackers souping up their liliputers with touchscreens, GPS and unauthorized operating systems like Apple's Mac OS X. As netbook sales continue to soar, more and more tech-savvy grease monkeys are dismantling netbooks to add fancy features including back-lit keyboards, GPS and longer-lasting batteries."

Other than upgrading the OS to Ubuntu, I have not modified my Eee at all. That said, I'm tempted to add Bluetooth and GPS after reading this article. Any of you with netbooks done any interesting mods?
