If you want a small, portable, battery-powered terminal, get an HPLX

The HPLX palmtops have a VT100 emulation. I have not had a need to use
it, but Tony has and perhaps can comment on its fidelity to the real
thing.
Yeah, except they are ridiculously expensive... If you can get your hands on
an android device w/ a decent keyboard for $60 new IMHO you are much better
off than w/ an HPLX. Plus you have much more options as far as SW and
functionality goes.

It's $30 more than your android device -- I don't know if that falls
into the category of "ridiculously expensive" or not. I see them sell
between $50 and $125 fairly regularly.
