I was looking at the ST5111 with the 9-cell battery.

I played with the Samsung/Microsoft UMPC yesterday. It didn't leave me with a desire to buy it. It feels a little thick and bulky. I might be able to get use to the keyboard, but I don't think I would every be as fast as a I am on a normal KB. The touchscreen is a little kludgy, not at all as effortless as the iPhone touchscreen. Maybe that's adjustable.
I also played with the Fujitsu UMPC. Same opinion.
I'd like to try out the HTC or the OQO - I'm a fan of keyboards.
My kids all have Sony TZ series 11.1" laptops. These are just as thin and compact as the tablet PC's and UMPC's and they have other great features (like a useable keyboard). The extended battery gives you about 9 hours, but I think it's cleaner just to carry two standard batteries. If you buy the older one (the core duo, not the core2duo) and just use 512M of ram you can get over 6 hrs from a single standard battery. If you set the screen to blank after only one minute you save a lot of battery.
The thing I like about the TZ is that it supports a 24" flat panel at home with very high resolution, 2049 X 1536 (or something like that). So it is one of my daughter's only device.
I'm thinking about writing a keyboard driver for the Sony Reader. If one could implement a terminate-stay-ready pop-up window and some other data features, it might be possible to annotate an LRF. I don't know enough about the data format to know if that's possible yet, but usually with computers: "Where there is a will, there is a way" (not necessarily a pretty way, though).
