sorry, you are asking for too much...
so we'll have to break a few rules.
a pda might be the best solution.
a laptop can sometimes be too big for what you want and then you have battery/power issues; pda batteries last pretty long when not in use. but using it heavily will also cause battery issues.
i purchased a palm m500. it broke on my 4 times. i had it warrantied, but pain in the butt. I will never buy a palm again. maybe another brand or palm model is better?
honestly, if i were you i'd probably get a small laptop. something like an apple ibook 12". they go pretty cheap for laptops. but i think there are pc like machines out there that can let you do email/internet and typing. they're smaller. not sure how much. but cheaper than laptops - more expensive than pdas.
if you do end up getting a pda, you'll have to get a keyboard. typing in or using graphitti can be a pain if you're writing something long.
