In terms of size, I couldn't open a netbook on a rush hour train but
could work just fine on a Zaurus.

If you look at the architecture, the Zaurus uses an arm process which is
much more energy efficient then your i386 based cpu's.  Obviously all
applications need to be compiled to run on the arm cpu which can be a
problem if you are using binary only, or non-ported applications.  An
i386 netbooks obviously doesn't have this problem.
