I recently received information on the BriteLite(TM) made by RDI
Computer Corp.  I have never used the machine, so I can't post a
review.  I just saw an ad for it in Unix World and called them for
more info.  If anyone has one, I'd love to hear a review :-)  

I have no affiliation with RDI - just as a curious consumer.

Features:

- Sun IPC board
- 13.5lbs including NiCad battery
- 3.6" X 12" X 15.6"
- 8Mb RAM expandable to 48Mb
- 120Mb Hard Drive
- 3.5" floppy disk
- Ethernet interface
- 2 serial ports
- SCSI 2 interface
- full-sized, full-travel Sun-4 workstation keyboard
- two hours continuous use on batteries, six hours in standby
- LCD backlit monochrome with 640 X 480 (there's an optional 1152 X 900 screen)
- 15.8 MIPS, 1.7 MFLOPS, SPECmark 10.0 
- $10,800 for the above.

They also have an optional product, the Companion(TM) which lets your
BriteLite run Macintosh applications...
