Many of the pdas do have keyboards.  All of the MobileGear2 machines
do.  These machines are marketed in the US as MobilePro machines (I
have a table somewhere that gives approximate correlations, but not
handy).  Also, the Vadem CLIO has a keyboard.  The IBM z50 has a
keyboard as well, but I'm unsure of the current level of support for
the latter two machines.

For my Everex A-10, I've been using a serial port.  I think that the
CE spec for PDAs states that all machines must have a RS232 serial
port.

I have another Mips based CE box that someone sent me a while ago.  It
is a R4300 based machine named ThinStar made by NCD.  I can't seem to
find info on the company web site about it, but it looks like a cool
little diskless box...
