Morning.

Recently I've been considering getting some kind of webpad for use around
the house.  I currently use a laptop over .11g, however it occurs to me

most of the time, I'm only using the laptop to either browse the web, or
pick up email.=20=20

I've considered a Tablet PC, but I really want something smaller, lighter,
cooler and quieter.  I've also looked at Smart Devices (Viewsonic VT110
etc), but they seam to me to be hideously overpriced for something which

especially, just a dump terminal.

Ideally, what I want is a iPAQ running CE and with a touch sensitive screen
between 10 and 15" running at either 800 by 600 or 1024 by 768.

I don't need it to synchronize with a PC, but it would need to have either
.11b or .11g (or, maybe a PCMCIA slot, but I'd rather wi-fi built-in).
Software-wise, it just needs a (preferably frames allowable) web browser,
and an email client (if it also had a usenet client that would be an added
bonus - an e-book reader of some kind would be good to).

*And* I don't want to spend more than say... =A3600-ish on it ;-)

Any recommendations/ideas?

TIA,
A.
