What UMPC's do you recommend Betty?

Since I can't fit one into my budget--just into a pocket--I can make a wishlist. I like the Panasonic Toughbook U1 for size, but it's heavy. Something like that would be nice, but needs to be lighter. Itronix GoBook® MR-1 is better, but not much lighter.

The entire UMPC/Netbook genre is blurring with mobile phones, except for the rugged ones above. Compare Nokia 900, UMID mbook M1, Viliv, iPhone. For now, I'm buying a Nokia N79 mobile phone, and considering a new iPod Touch, maybe. The only thing I'm missing is printing, and I can do that via BlueTooth or WiFi from a phone if there's an app for it. Anything bigger than a 6-7" display is too big for traveling light [I use a carry-on bag for trips, 1 day to 2 months or more].

I may as well just carry my Macbook instead of a bigger Netbook. What's the point of a 10-inch 'netbook' when my notebooks are 12 and 13 inches!
