I might throw a junky old Sun box at you ... never a Newton.

Exactly why the Newton is bang on the right size, although a bit on the 
big side.
There are usually lots available on eBay for 50 - 100 and a very active 
developer community for them as well.
They support Blue Tooth, WiFi, all kinds of PC cards, GPS and still a 
number of things that a Palm or CE device doesn't do.
Just because they're old doesn't mean they aren't still the Cadillac of 
hand helds.
