I do most of my arduino and processing development on a tiny eee pc.

The key thing that makes this easy is a compact programming language I think. Plus I'm usually making embedded software so it's small and cheap enough to leave lieing around running sensor logging scripts etc.

it's pretty rare that I'm out somewhere and wish I could develop something but haven't brought my laptop

Perhaps hacking embedded "internet of things" type software where there world around you is a rich hackable environment is what will drive handheld development machines.

That's an interesting suggestion, I would have never thought about that myself.

Thank you everyone for your kind advice and suggestions

It's not a matter of hating computers but of being unable to use them much. I have RSI and can go for periods of weeks/months of being unable to type.
