And then there are these:

Sony VGN-UX380N - http://tinyurl.com/3crnt6

OQO - http://www.oqo.com/

  I walked past the Sony on a store display the other day, and spent
the next several minutes playing with it.  It's a pretty impressive
little box.  Still too big and heavy to be a PDA, but not by much.
Loaded with features.  Just a few problems:

(1) It's from Sony.
(2) It costs $2000.
(3) Sony is infamous for loading their computers with hardware that
only works if you load their bloated, badly written, annoyingly
flashing software to drive it.  Worse, such software is only available
for 'doze.  See (1), above.

  The OQO is cheaper only by comparison.  $1500.

  But damn, they are *shinny*.  :-)
