Out of curiosity, have you looked at the IBM Workpad Z50 as a possibility? I bought one on ebay once and it turned out the unit I got was flaky, and I haven't tried again since... but they're cheap enough, used, that I really don't mind having had the experience.

To me it seemed like the perfect laptop for geeks who don't care about having lots of pixels, gigahertz, or gigabytes, but do want something they can run netbsd or linux on (it has WinCE in ROM, but can boot netbsd/hpcmips off CF media, and I assume linux would work just as well) that they can take with them. I'm a bit sorry that I haven't tried again to find a working one. The battery life is nothing short of amazing.
