I have a Palm TX.
I am ready to upgrade to something with a bit larger screen something in the 7 inch size. I have been very happy with the TX but the desire for a larger screen is calling me.

I currently do quite a few things. from reading quite a bit of RSS content. I don't think I could get by a day without the useof plucker and sunrise.

I also watch TV and movies on the Palm using TCMP. I read books.

I also browse the web live using 802.11b/g.

So who has a recommendation for the next device I should look at as the upgrade, that will not break the bank? I really would like something in the $500-$700 range, but am worried that is not going to be realistic. I have fallen in love with the touch screen so tablet PC is more the goal then a regular laptop. Also the battery life needs to last at least a single movie length and can go longer if I am reading books.

Is there a device currently as a solution to my delema?
