Interesting.
I did once thought about getting a smartphone some months ago. I was neither thinking about working nor surfing on the road. Rather, I have bought some ebooks (PDF) in the past that I appreciate a handy reader so that I can read on the road. However, even the model with the largest screen (3.8" is the largest I know of - a bit larger than iphone 3G) still would not allow optimal viewing of conventional A4-sized PDF pages, and so did not justify the ~USD$900 price tag for me. So I dropped the idea.
Probably a netbook is more suitable for me. My laptop is simply too big to carry everywhere. Except missing cellular phone functionality, I think netbook is more "malleable" especially when WIFI and GPRS modules are now builtin in newer models.

text::pdf::page
Text::PDF::Page(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Text::PDF::Page(3pm)
NAME
Text::PDF::Page - Represents a PDF page, inherits from Text::PDF::Pages
DESCRIPTION
Represents a page of output in PDF. It also keeps track of the content stream, any resources (such as fonts) being switched, etc.
Page inherits from Pages due to a number of shared methods. They are really structurally quite different.
INSTANCE VARIABLES
A page has various working variables:
curstrm
The currently open stream
METHODS
Text::PDF::Page->new($pdf, $parent, $index)
Creates a new page based on a pages object (perhaps the root object).
The page is also added to the parent at this point, so pages are ordered in a PDF document in the order in which they are created rather
than in the order they are closed.
Only the essential elements in the page dictionary are created here, all others are either optional or can be inherited.
The optional index value indicates the index in the parent list that this page should be inserted (so that new pages need not be appended)
$p->add($str)
Adds the string to the currently active stream for this page. If no stream exists, then one is created and added to the list of streams for
this page.
The slightly cryptic name is an aim to keep it short given the number of times people are likely to have to type it.
$p->ship_out($pdf)
Ships the page out to the given output file context
