I'm looking for a sub $1000 x86 device with 5-7" screen, usable keyboard and battery life above 4 hours. Maybe one of the Atom devices.

I think my next small device will be either N82 or N96, and the major device will be Sony UX umpc.

My dream gadget will be the a Nokia n9xx, same as the 810-wimax only with wifi bumped to 802.11n, a proper SDHC card slot, 512M of ram, 4GB of flash, *and* (wait for it, wait for it) in the zaurus clamshell format. with proper accelerated video (arm/omap is fine, just don't cripple it, with cpu-to-video bandwidth problems, Nokia)

oh wait, maybe this is it?

Bleh . . . the problem with clamshells of all types is that they're really terrible to try and use standing up and on the move.

Good news is that they'd have to go way out of their way to cripple it with OMAP3.

A Pandora comes closer than anything else I know of.

I think what you are describing is called the eee 9 incher for 499$. Coming out end of april. I know that is what I'll be getting to add to my wm6.1 dash/excaliber and delightfull n800 only problem is i don't have any more pockets ¤

If we're talking dream devices now, mine would just be a 770 or N800[*] running an updated NewtOS (with full multimedia and Internet capabilities, i.e. all the OpenEinstein and Relativity enhancements).

See? I am easily pleased...

[*] I'd prefer the 770 purely on its design; the N800 OTOH has the dual card slots.

zaurus clamshell will actually fold flat, and twist into a tablet.

OK, there is something I can agree with on all counts. I have never tried the open Einstein, although I did write to steve jobs once asking if he would release the source code to the newton.
You will be suprised to know he didn't reply.
