They also seem to be working on a linux version, so they may be smart and port it to nokia nXXX/armel.

Not sure the other two machine choices will be much better. The Via C7M ULV is not very good, I would rate the 1.2Ghz as equivalent to about a 700Mhz pentium III, and has very poor battery performance. The Nokia N800 would be about a 266 pentium II but with much better battery and no heat problems. Unfortunatley the C7 is going to generate alot of heat, needs a fan for(which is pretty loud on the WiBrain) and will still be pretty hot to the touch, (one of the reasons I've been avoiding UMPC and MID type machines, besides not being pocketable)

The AMD Geode LX 600Mhz in the Everun will not generate as much heat and get much better battery life than the C7M ULV, but I would put the performance at about pentium III 450Mhz.

The benefit of course in both of these, is access to x86 codebase, so a huge choice in software. Though it might be worthwhile to wait and see how the Atom machines stackup?
Nope, I didn't post about SpaceTime Calcs. Thanks for pointing out SpaceTime mobile though. If I didn't have something better (besides TiEmu and wxMaxima on my N800), I'd be interterested in getting it for my HTC PPC 6700.

What do I have that's better?

I bought the Raon Digital Everun S60H (AMD LX900 600mhz, 60GB, 512mb RAM, WiFi+BT, Windows XP Home)!!! Such a deal at $749.00 USD + S&H. I have my N800s to thank for getting me interested in "Internet Tablets".


So Wednesday night I'll be running Maple 12 on a handheld device with a battery life of up to 6 hours.
