Well. It would be a rival if it wasn't ...
500 quid
Intel Atom
1850mAh battery
WindowsXP

But it is ...
800x480
linux-able
1Gb ram
instant on/off

Now that the laptop is cheap and ubiquitous, it's hard to see a shirt-pocket computer being quite as popular. But then again, nothing on the market today offers touch typing, and instant on, in such a compact and convenient package.

Psi)(PDA is just a rebrand of an existing Chinese UMPC EKing that doesn't sell well in China. Moreover the bundled XP license is ILLEGAL as it was originally licensed to Lenovo! This is just a cheap knock-off ...

From that review:
A more stringent test was to play music from a USB flash drive with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on, and the power scheme tweaked so that the screen remained on. In this configuration we managed 1hr 50mins of music before the device conked out.
Less than two hours of actual use. Ouch.
 
Regarding battery life, an interesting article from Chippy:

Good to have a really fat battery in Pandora ;)
