Fitting somewhere between your PDA phone and your business laptop is this ultra-mobile PC (UMPC) from Medion. It won’t anywhere near as powerful as a regular notebook computer, but because it sports a 6.5-inch touchscreen display, it’s a heck of a lot more portable. Think of it as a Tablet PC that got stuck in the dryer.
Great for mobile professionals, the Medion UMPC is powered by a 1GHz processor, 30GB hard drive, and even a DVB-T tuner for entertainment on the go (not that you should be watching TV while in that important meeting). The trio of wireless radios — Bluetooth 2.0, 802.11b/g WiFi, and integrated GPS — will surely come in handy too. It’s even got a built-in webcam!

Sony has something like this. It’s got basically the same features, Intel Core 2 Solo (1.2 GHz, if I remember correctly), 1GB of RAM, webcam, Fingerprint reader, full pull out QWERTY keyboard (well, actually the screen slides, but whatever), etc.
I think the Sony one is even smaller, though.
London Drugs carries it. It’s got a hefty price tag, though, $2499.99 CAD.
