I'm looking for a 3-lb 12" notebook with built-in bluetooth. I can not find any such animal. I've looked at the Vaio TR2/3A, they all use the external USB dongle. I've looked at the Thinkpad X40, it uses an external USB dongle. I've looked at Protege R100, it has nothing.

Can anyone recommend an ultralight in current production with built-in bluetooth?

Thanks,
Dave

Some ThinkPad X40 modules do come with internal bluetooth. And it even works (without SCO support) in kernel 2.6.6!

with 2.6.6-mh1 they should also work with SCO support enabled.

I scoured the IBM website for any info about X40 internal bluetooth. The only thing I found was an ultraport module. Is that what you're talking about? I thought that to connect an ultraport device to an X40 you have to use a USB adapter?

The powerbook would be great if I could run Linux on it, but I don't see it in the BlueZ hardware compatibility list. Is it supported?

they use USB adapters based on CSR Bluetooth chips in it. So the Bluetooth part won't be a real problem here. With the Bluetooth firmware update from Apple you will also get the HID Proxy mode ;)
