Anyone out there remember the Sharp Mobilon TriPad PV-6000?
This bad boy ran on the WinCE 2.11 OS, and was like a cross between a PDA and a baby notebook, with a 640x480 screen and (slightly undersized) keyboard; the screen could flip around so that the unit (heh, heh -- she said "unit") could be used as a tablet.
Of course I wanted one, but it was not to be.
And it's a damn shame that the various sub-sub-notebook and slate gadgets running WinCE went the way of the buffalo in the year or so leading up to the launch of Microsoft's Tablet PC, but I digress. [However, more on this in the Addendum below.]
Anyway, Gizmodo brings news of a new Sharp C-700 which runs Linux. It too can be used like a baby notebook, and the keyboard also folds 'round the other way so it can be used as a tablet.

Availability in North America is limited, but here are further details on the C-700 from Dynamism, who can import it for you.
[Addendum: WebWord posts a link to an article titled "Tablet PC: A solution searching for a problem"; check out the comments responding to the post, too. The now nearly-extinct WinCE-powered tablet devices would fill this segment of the market quite nicely. And they wouldn't be as bleeping heavy, either.]
