While you ultimately will want this, it can be the last thing you
get for your wearable.  There is a link to a good overview of the
poor state of the art in this Slashdot article:

The longer you wait, the better chance someone in your area will
have a good plan.

Did you move somewhere very cold?  I wouldn't strap a P4 or P4M anything
to my body unless I needed the warmth.  The new Pentium M, OTOH, is a
cool customer.

BTW, it looks like they sell an interesting auxilliary keyboard for a
wearable: http://www.cappuccinopc.com/accessories/minikeyboard.asp

Some plans have that as an (IIRC expensive) option for
some cards.
