XP (or linux, but with a view o install xp)
Webcam
6 call battery
1gb (preferably 1 more slot empty for upgrade)
Lan port/wlan n

Preferably Acer. Definitely not dell.

Not interested in linux only netbooks.

Been digging around for a bit, but would like to see people's suggestions to this.

How about Samsung NC-10?

the NC10 doesnt have anywhere near HD resolution (only 1024x600), the only one that matches your needs (but I think is slightly more than your price at around £250 with 3 cell, bigger battery can be bought as an extra) is the Acer AO751 with 1366x768 resolution.

Consider getting a proper laptop with a decent-sized screen that has a good vertical resolution and visible characters, a keyboard where you can type without too many errors, a free memory slot so you don't have to get rid of the 1 GB supplied, and a DVD drive so you don't have to buy an external one at another £50-odd.

You did ask for any ideas!

Vote here for the NC10. Though if you are specifically after a laptop which can stream 720p video, you're very unlikely to find one for less than £230 as they'll all be running the Atom processor.
