Battery powered linux? What's the best hardware


Hi,
does anyone has a recommendation for a battery powered linux box? I was thinking
of something like a mp3 player, ie portable. What would be perfect would be something
small with wireless and a soundcard.

Any ideas?

GumStix is easily the best hardware available, but I don't know if they have sound capability off hand. I know WiFi modules are available though.

If not, a Linux-powered PDA like the Zaurus line might be your second best shot.
