I just ordered an Aspire One "netbook" from Amazon, which I'll be 
coupling with various portable HD's and readers.  Not something I'd 
want to use for serious in-the-field processing (one gig of ram and a 
slow processor) but ideal for notes/writing/email, should work with 
GPS and mapping. It's smaller than a subnotebook, runs XP, seems to 
be the ideal compromise for travel as long as you're not on tight 
"must gotta get pix to yew nork"-type deadlines...
