How wearable do you want it?  The Tungsten can operate in a "landscape"
mode, when held sideways.  This means it could be fastened to a wristband
like an oversized wristwatch, so it'd be wearable.  The reliance on the
touchscreen will limit your ability to remotely mount the screen,
though...  Most wearables have a CPU core, and remotely mounted input
devices and displays.

If you just want to play, Fry's Electronics has the Palm IIIxe (8M,
PalmOS 4.x I think, Dragonball processor) on sale this weekend for $27.99
after rebates.  It's hard to go wrong with that one, and if you search on
eBay, it has the MOST peripherals of anything.  I have a Cirque
capacitive touchpad keyboard for it, that I thought about remotely
mounting for a PC based wearable, at one time.

In fairness, my Palm is so small that I usually just stick it in my
pocket.  Can't say the same about my iPaq with expansion sleeve.
