Is there a handheld computing device that meets these criteria?

Question

I need a handheld computing device running OpenOffice Calc (v. much preferred) -- or MS Excel, if Calc isn't an option -- or some "equivalent" spreadheet software.

I prefer at least 320 x 480 pixels for the display, but can get by with something smaller.

It can have a QWERTY kybd that flips open to reveal the display (and, when closed, doubles as a protective cover), or the kybd can be digital (on the display), or the kybd can be on the front of the device.

Full recovery -- meaning display of the last open spreadsheet page & complete functionality of the spreadsheet s/ware -- from "sleep" mode needs to be well under 3 seconds.

Battery life needs to be <= 10 hours of normal spreadsheet use between recharges, and I don't want a battery that develops "memory:" taking advantage of my battery's full potential shouldn't mean I have to fully deplete my battery before recharging it.

I don't need wireless anything (gotta plug-in to recharge anyway), but a (USB/E-net) dock would be nice.

Regarding battery life:

Normal spreadsheet use for me means turning the device on, entering a series of numbers (never more than 84 cells, and likely not more than 16 even on a bad day).

After that, it could be a few minutes or a few hours before I'll need to access and/or update the information -- but when I need it, I will need it "right now."

I suppose I could augment the whole process with a pad and pen, but wouldn't that defeat the point of having a handheld? I mean, if all I end up with is a calculator anyway, what's the point?

My spread sheets are extremely simple: all I'll be doing at first is entering production values, summing them and subtracting from a weekly target value to determine shortfall.

If I'm using Excel, "conditional formatting" can help me prioritize production at a glance (I haven't yet figured out how to do this with Calc).

So I don't need MP3 or video playback and all the other multimedia stuff: I just need a workhorse.
