This is what I want: a small, dedicated writing machine, with astonishing battery life.
It has to be the right size that it can be thrown into a bag without hesitation, and weigh very little.
It has to have a keyboard that's close enough to full size to allow speed typing, as well as be of sufficient resilience and quality to make it enjoyable.
Most importantly, the battery would last 20-30 hours.
Doesn't need to be colour. Doesn't even need to be backlit. I don't want internet, music, or anything else on it, just basic text editing with standard formatting.
Perhaps a body similar to the Psion 5, which apparently had a fantastic keyboard. Just hook it up with some LiIon batteries...
There's a few things that are heading in the right direction: The Alphasmart can last hundreds of hours on AAs, but weighs 2lbs, is ugly as sin, and costs $219.
The Japanese only Pomera Digital Memo DM10 looks about right, but once again, $270!
On an unrelated note, this is quite possible too cute for words.
