I want a tablet approximately the size of my Kindle, that will fit in my purse, and not be too heavy. That is what I was actually looking for, and ended up buying an iPod Touch, and an iPad. I can't carry the iPad around though, because it is too big and heavy. I would carry it on vacation, to be able to use maps and things, but not every day.

I tried a Viliv S5 UMPC, but the screen resolution was too high for the screen size, and my bad eyes couldn't cope. The next size up was too heavy (for me, at least).
