If the UMPC seems just too big and the OQO model 01 is too pricey  then Sony hopes they have the answer with the Vaio UX180P Micro PC

A new american verson has just been release and it features a faster CPU than the Japanese UX50 import model, is $400 less than the similarly spec-d import UX90, and a built-in EDGE wireless radio. The EDGE radio replaces the UX50 and UX90’s CF slot on the UX180P, so you’ll need to use a USB card reader

This model like the rest runs Windows XP Professional (a sticker on the box says it’s Windows Vista-ready), measures just under 6 x 3.74 x 1.27 – 1.5 inches and weighs 1.2 pounds. In the fine Sony tradition, it has everything except the kitchen sink: WiFi 802.11a/b/g, Bluetooth, Ethernet, a good selection of ports (some require the included docking station or dongle), a wide SVGA display, XBRite, the new Intel Core Solo processor running at 1.2 GHz, 512 megs of DDR2 RAM, a fast 533MHz front side bus, and EDGE radio (built-in Sony Ericsson card, locked to Cingular), a backlit thumb keyboard, biometric fingerprint scanner  and both front and rear facing cameras.

A nice package, I am now just waiting for the UK model.
