Sharp just announced the Actius mm30. A touch over two pounds, default
battery life of about 4 hours, dvd burner, Atheros wireless (madwifi
driver). Unless you're shopping for screen size, it should rock. I'm
using the mm20, which uses a wireless driver that is supportted in
kernel, but is a very slick machine, and I've had no troubles with it.
So if Sharp keeps up the good work, it should run rather smoothly.

Of course, this all depends if you like 1024x768 on a 10" screen. All
depends what you need. Otherwise I'm told the IBM's work very well and
are quite nice.
