I was just coming to post about the NetWalker, from over on
pocketables.com
The Good: It's like a 5" netbook, running Ubuntu.
The Bad: .5GB RAM, not available in the US for at least a year, price seems slightly high.
(but I'm willing to be convinced about the price)
I can't tell from the gallery at akihabara whether or not there's a video out (one pic shows a port, on the side near the Q key, that might be a USB ... or something else; and there's what appears to be a micro-USB on the other side). A video-out and a USB port could make an interesting "take your (light) desktop with you" device. KVM at home to mobile/coffee-shop/meetings/etc. to KVM at work, and back again.
I will say that the rhinestone encrusted versions in that gallery don't impress me at all :-} Kind of find it off-putting, really. I don't think that's what people meant when they said they want mobile devices with Flash. ;-)
Pocketables shows it in 3 color schemes (white and copper, black and copper, and red and copper). I'd probably go with the black and copper one ... sans rhinestones ... :-)
