Well, my work just gave me a Fujitsu P1000 (http://webshop.fujitsupc.com/fpc/Ecommerce/buildseriesbean.do?series=P1) for a while. I've been messing around with it a little bit over the past 24 hours, and it's pretty nifty. It has built-in 802.11b, which I've been using, and has pretty good battery life. The aspect ratio of the screen is a little weird (1024x600), but it's a tiny device as a whole. Unfortunately, I don't think it's a practical extended-use device, becasue the keyboard is really quite small, but it'd be great to take along for trips, or watch a movie on a plane, or something.

One kind of interesting aspect of the device is that it features both a pointing stick (on the keyboard, between the letters G, H, B, and N, like IBM has done for a while), as well as touchscreen LCD (with included stylus).

The device also features one PCMCIA slot, two USB ports, SVGA output via an included dongle. As there are no removable media drives physically attached to the device, a USB floppy drive is included with the package as well.

You can check out a few pictures of it here (http://p14nd4.com/keefe/lifebook/).

Yeah, that was my crummy bandwidth throttling attempt, that didn't work quite right. I turned it off now, so the rest should load.

Maybe if I'm procrastinating later, I'll label the pictures with what some of the junk is.

It's an Apple PowerBook Pismo.

It has a PowerPC G3 400 MHz processor (100 MHz FSB), 192 MB RAM (2 SODIMM's), ATI RageM3, 5.59 GB Toshiba HDD, Matshita DVD-Rom. It has USB 1.1, FireWire, SVGA out, sVideo out, 10/100 Ethernet, 802.11b, 56k, audio in and out. It's running OS X 10.2.4.

That's from my employer too.

And no, this doesn't mean I've made, or am making, "the switch."
