um... advice needed

all of you palm pilot/min computer owners, I'm seriously considering getting one with fold-out keyboard for November and Nanowrimo - any advice, prices, places to shop. etc?

I have a little Sony Vaio, one of the ones that's like a baby laptop (about the size of a video cassette) - this is excellent if you want the advantages of a 80 or 90ish% scale keyboard, decent sized screen, full word processing capabilities, and pretty much all the functions you'd get from a PC. Disadvantages: not as small or portable as a palmpilot-type affair, the normal battery-life problems of a laptop, the time taken to boot up instead of being as instantly ready as a palmpilot. It's good if you want something in between a full-sized laptop and a personal organizer, but if you already have a laptop it's probably not worth it. Feel free to email me if you want to know more.
