Small computers are still popular in the
Japanese market. For examples, see URL
http://www.dynamism.com/subnotebooks.shtml

You might also consider systems based on
Microsoft Handheld PC OS, such as HP Journada
720 or NEC MobilePro 790.  The British 
Psion-Teklogix Netbook is similar hardware.
A version of Linux is available for the Psion.

This is still "slideware" but it's scheduled
