Course, this currently costs $2,000 ... but it's really the kind of machine I'd like to see Apple make. Small, Wifi, full OS with keyboard and touchscreen:
These things are teeny—235mm by 155mm by 31mm—and can weigh under three pounds in the right configuration. The model you're looking at here is a 1GHz Transmeta Crusoe-based system, the A33i; it comes with 512MB of DDR memory, a 1024x600 screen, and some flavor of Radeon Mobility graphics. There are also a couple of models based on the Pentium M "Dothan" running at 1.1 to 1.2GHz.
As if they Flybook weren't fly enough already, these things are also tablet PCs, complete with swiveling screens that are touch-sensitive. The screen will fold down to cover the keyboard and then rotate to the user's preferred orientation. The Flybook is then operating in tablet mode, complete with handwriting recognition.

Update: Talk about thinking little.
