I've got a few Libretto's kicking around, they are fantastic machines, full pentium class UMPC's

I've also got a GPRS modem for my 100CT and it makes a nice portable IRC machine.

I still have my Libretto 30, which was right on the bottom edge of usable performance with its 486-class processor and 8MB RAM. I remember being able to play MP3s - but only with the Fraunhofer codec, not WinAMP, and I eventually lost the PCMCIA sound card. It also ran Opera quite nicely. Eventually I installed Redhat.

Still the best "touchpoint" interface I've ever used, since you worked it with your thumb rather than an extended index finger. And the keyboard is just adorable. The whole thing fit in a pocket if you had very large pockets.

I'm a fan of the wallpapers.
Oh boy, I'm not going to hide my envy, those beasts look really sexy.
