A very small tablet, smaller than the one I use. Probably not as cheap as a netbook either - look for a $550 - $800 price tag.

This is what I use -



It is fairly heavy, and has a thumb typing keyboard that slides out. The screen is seven inches



It weighs a pound and a half - probably 3/4 of a Kg.
I carry it in the right cargo pocket of my pants.

I rum Microsoft reader, mobiread, and caliber on it.

Apple will release a proprietary device that will be somewhat smaller and no where near as thick or as heavy - more like the Crunchpad project:



Slick and pretty to look at, but much less robust for text entry or actual computing.
