People down-thread suggested small laptop / netbook. If that's the way
you want to go a pocketCHIP may be suitable:

CHIP ($9 computer) + snap on shell with touch screen, keyboard, battery,
and some breakout connectors for $69 total.

I'm curious if there is anything off-the-shelf in a similar price range
for pi.  I have a pi, with one of those Motorola phone docks and I have
a pocketCHIP. The phone dock set-up has a beautiful screen and a decent
keyboard. The pocketCHIP has a tiny screen and a shitty keyboard. But
the phone dock thing is a mess of wires and pocketCHIP is just fun.
