For four thousand yen/month you can currently get five hours/month data
only dial up access using a PDA with Compact Flash slot and a P-in Comp@ct
from DoCoMo.
Would love to see packet charged connection (if the packets are cheap
enough) with 'instant connection' like i-mode instead of dial up. I don't
think this is possible already using a PDA and a DoPa enabled phone, but
it's not far off. The E-707 I mentioned earlier is due out this month for
business users: http://www.casio.co.jp/English/productnews/e707.html
I'm sure we'll be seeing many more devices before summer.
