Ultra portable laptop for surfing

Hi

While I'm hanging out in Geeks corner, can anyone help?

I am looking for an ultra portable (ie can put in (big) pocket) device for surfing. What I want is to be able to:

- connect via Wifi easily
- if no Wifi, then I want to be able to 3G....it
- to do this in the UK and Spain and potentially other countries
- a reasonably easy to use keyboard

So far the only brand I have encountered, which is near to what I want, is Asus and their eee PC range - with 7" screen. I'm not sure of the limitations (or benefits of Linux (versus Windows XP - but from the reviews it seems fine....- and anyway it is just for surfing really)

(See.....Amazon.co.uk: ASUS EEE PC 2GS-W CELM-900M 2GB 512MB 7IN NOOPT LINUX: Electronics & Photo)

Are there any other options/ideas you could recommend - especially from personal experience..........

Thx
