I'm looking for a new notebook/PDA type thing, and I wonder if anything like
what I want exists. If anyone knows, please tell me. I'm not really up on
what's offered.
Requirements:
weight- under 5 pounds, and the lower the better. 3 or under perferred
size- Handheld for carrying (not laptop style underarm). 2 handed ok for use.
Decent screen size. Some sort of hinge arrangement to get a good screen size
is fine
input- must have a keyboard. Small keyboard perfectly fine. Touchscreen
nice, but not necessary.
OS- prefer linux or other free Unix. Will live with Windows, but it needs to
be full windows, capable of running any non-game app.
Battery- at least 4 hours of active use
Must be hobbyist programmable without extensive hacking to make it so
Must be cellular network capable. Prefer choice of providers.
Prefer wifi capable, to save money on the cell network.
Sound capability a plus, for MP3s.
Google search for "asus eee pc". This sounds a lot like what you want.

Heck, if he's going that way, why not make it an XO (OLPC)? ;)
