I seem to remember a product from Sony last year that had a CDROM
drive in it, a small LCD display, and a minimal keyboard. I think it
was meant for reading encyclopedias or something.
What would be cool would be a small device like this with a Magneto
Optical drive in it. Generate yourself a large one-time pad and off
you go...
Or, you could have a secure messaging system (running a stripped
down version of PGP) that could connect to a host via POP3 protocol
(thru a internal modem of course) handle your mail, etc.
