>I just want a very long-life note-taking tablet with a decent keyboard. I think you would like the Alphasmart NEO. http://www.neo-direct.com/NEO/default.aspx http://www.neo-direct.com/NEO/default.aspx It's got a full-sized keyboard with a built-in 6 line LCD screen. It runs on 3 AA batteries or a rechargeable pack and it honestly runs forever. I got one originally 5 years ago when I did Nanowrimo for the first time. I use it all the time when I'm in the mood to just write, because there's no distraction. The only real downside is the need to hook it up to USB to transfer files off of it.
