Ubuntu have a code branch called Ubuntu Mobile and Embedded. They plan to put it on PCs that are bigger than mobile phones and smaller than laptops. These are called Ultra-mobile PCs (UMPCs). The computers that they are making it for are based on upcoming lines of Intel x86-based CPUs, so it will be quite easy to port desktop Ubuntu applications to the portable ones. The user interface will be very different, however.
Here is an example of an existing UMPC, to give you a size impression:
