An HP Jornada 720 or 728 is a nice HPC with a tiny but touch typeable
keyboard. I run Jlime Linux on mine instead of the stock WinCE. The
CPU is a ~200MHz strongarm, display is color HVGA, and has 32 or 64MB
of RAM. For expansion, there's a PCMCIA slot and one CF slot. It fits
in my pocket but it's pretty cramped. You won't be playing any videos
on it but it's otherwise quite nice.
