Keyboards, modems, and wireless, oh my!

I too would love to see a comparison of the smaller keyboards. I have a SnapNType and will probably get a ThumBoard for comparison (since Amazon has them for $40.) I might even run downtown and see if Etherage will let me play with one of the prototype ClipKee's -- I really want the 802.11b version. And heck, toss in the Stowaway just for the heck of it.

Then there are the modems -- I have the Handspring Modem (it was also $40 at Amazon), but how does it compare to the other modems? And what can you do with them? (I have visions of connecting to Unix boxen and being able to do support with just the Visor.)

And lastly, what about the options for wireless internet access? OmniSky didn't fare well on the VisorAdventure, but the VisorPhone did. (Speaking of which, I'm still trying to justify that one too.)

Ooh, and how about GPS's? Magellan vs. HandyGPS vs. Geode? Versus an external GPS? I've never really cared for Magellan, but they sound like the best of the three from what little I've heard. Or, should I just get a cable and use my Garmin?

And speaking of cables... There are a lot of hotsync, celphone, gps, etc. cables out there, perhaps not a head-to-head, but an overview article? (sorry for the hideous grammar!)
