I've been very happy with my Nokia N810 internet tablet. The built-in GPS seems pretty good - I thought it had lost it going through some light woodland the other day, as I was on a bit of already mapped road, but in fact mine was right and the existing was wrong. Of course it does lose signal sometimes. When I bought it I did some side-by-side session with my Garmin Geko 301 and I think the Nokia was more accurate and lost the signal less often. I've adapted the in-car holder to be a handlebar mount on my bike, and made some minimal changes to its Maemo Mapper application so that I get one-touch-anywhere-on-the-screen auto-numbered waypoints (which means I can wear gloves in winter and still get waypoints). I can use a bluetooth earphone/mic to take an audio commentary on the device, and when I get home the WAV files and GPX files can just be copied over the network on WiFi and synced in JOSM using the continuous audio features I added.
