I have somewhat limited luck using my Palm TX for web surfing and it's inconvenient to use when it is connected. I have a IBM laptop that I use when I travel for business, but it is also pretty old and clunky to cart around. Since we are about to take off in a couple of weeks to go to Oregon, I decided I needed something new to play with on the road. I've been hearing (reading) a lot about these things, and I decided to buy one and try it out:

You need really tiny fingers, but it works most of the time for me. The weird thing is that I feel like I need a Barbie doll to sit beside it when I use it. And I think that is the target market:kids.
 
$299 from Amazon. It's size and portability makes it worth it. Although I wouldn't recommend it for serious applications.

This looks very similar to the PCs that the local School District is buying for every 3rd grader in the district. The keyboard certainly sounds like it's aimed at the market!
