I'm currently looking around, too. Recently someone mentioned a "pochade box" for painting outside. If you plan to do that, you might want to look into that, too.

Ah yes! I think I've seen these attached to easels before. Not that I'd paint outside with the constant rain we're having though. :P

Well basically anything that last long, and that carries around. My teacher even said they started with using a foldable chiar upside down.

Though one suggestion is, maybe not wood easels that are portable. If your not good at taking card of something, don't buy the wooden one. Mine is supposed to be good, but I think I abused it too much. Mine is mad out of wood and, what holds the legs together, like the hole where you insert a screw, is stripped a bit. The place of insert is made out of wood so, if you don't take care of it properly, it will fall apart. Basically its the leggs where it requires you to screw it in, but since its stripped the easel keeps falling down to the ground. This is very annoying when your painting something really important, and then bam, there goes your painting, and maybe your carpet flooring.

Pretty much the best is the metal one. The most sturdy and some can be portable. Or if your cheap, find a strudy metal chair and place it upside down. You can't really break metals ones that easily and it last longer then wood.

I've got a decent aluminum telescoping leg one that I got as a gift (I think it was around $100). Very solid.
