On that last link theres a really neat Vheicle display/control system.

I think its like a headunit panel with a 2x40 character lcd built in to it, 20 multifunction buttons. It say it has an rs232 interface (serial) so thats handy to have. Im not really sure if its completely for connecting to a computer or not, it says soemthing about being able to interface with a stock radio.

Vehicle Mobile Data Terminal model STX-4000i

Sent company an email requesting more information on the item

Would be easy to hack a keyboard to the keypad. 20 functions would be plently enough. Now the LCD might be a chore. But if someone has the cash floating around. Could just replace the LCD with another one that could be run serial

Probably a very expensive unit
Awaiting response from email

Wow would that Arm Mount Micro Keyboard be perfect! not for arm mounting, but for in car use, sadly the site was last updated in 1999 and the tel is disconnected. I sent an email & it bounced However I am thinking we are on the right track, perhaps the wearable-computer-people may have some things we can use..
Anyone read the book Snow Crash.. gargoyles heh heh.

somone posted something about a hack for that crique keypad that might be worth a shot
