I've got an IBM WorkPad c3. My employer also invested in an OmniSky Wireless
modem. Pretty sweet, but due to it being a piggyback accessory, and not
re-providing additional connectivity, I wouldn't be able to use a keyboard,
which takes away some of the more fun aspects of wireless Internet stuff
(one of the killer apps for it is Top Gun Telnet SSH - pretty damn cool, but
see how long you can do a vi session or emacs in Grafitti :)

Adios,

Zac
