BOSS doesn't beep.

ICK!  Why do you wish to make things difficult?  Or do you mean for 
calculator entry? If so, I agree, but for programming, why don't you just
shove knitting needles in your ears? ;-)

Sounds like you want a small computer.  Whereas the 48sx might fill the bill,
I do not believe the others would even come close.  Check out the Atari 
PORTFOLIO.  ~$350, qwerty keyboard, 32KB RAM (expandable) , etc...
It's basically a PC the size of a video cassette.  This may be too big 
for a pocket, though.
