You mean, like an internet tablet? How about a Nokia N800...somewhere 
just above about $200

But even better the new Nokia N810. Less than half the volume of the 
N800...in fact, its width is just less than that of my HewlettPackard 
HP-48GX, it's 1/2 inch thick instead of over 3/4" and it  reaches only 
to the bottom of the screen on the HP....

And yesterday, in a downtown Toronto office tower, it picked up 32 wifi 
signals...amazingly over half were unlocked.

Even has a nice built in stand, so it will sit at the correct reading 
angle, just like your laptop's screen. And it has a keyboard and 
bluetooth. Makes a great MP3 player, and will do video. And has a 
built-in GPS.
