Blake-

The Nokia 770/N800 sounds like it'd fit the bill- except for the  
toughness. It isn't especially breakable, but it is only as tough as  
most PDAs and tablets are.  I think you could toughen it up with a  
little work and thought, however.

And, naturally, it runs Squeak w/ Morphic pretty well.  You get  
character recognition free with Squeak via Genie, or you can use what  
is built-in, which isn't as good as Squeak's Genie.

Regards,
Aaron
