You could use these palm top mini laptop that run WinXP home
Some have keyboards but they run hot and have short battery life.

 A lot of developers are using C#.net or asp.netfor palm tops because 
they can use smarterm
which allows immediate screen redesign of forms depending on screen 
realestate
So they don't have to rewrite for different machines.
