My idea would, of course, be a subnote/bigPDA without an optical drive. (You could still attach an external DVD-Rewriter via USB-2 or FW...)

The Alphasmart thingie (was called Dana once, iirc) has never been widely available, i.e. with Swiss German keyboard support etc., but I think it'd almost be enough for me.

However: I think Apple could do much better than those slow Palm OS clones... And also better than other people's subnotebooks, which usually lack in the battery department (2 hours of juice just ain't enough, neither are 5h...).
