Not necessarily the cheapest, but definitely the fastest to get, and only slightly more expensive is at Best Buy. They have a 5GB MP3 player (I think the Rio Carbon) that has a Microdrive that is removable for $250.

I heard that once you put it in the PPC, it is hard to take it out.

i wouldn't trust it too much, it says retail on the title, but at the bottom is this:
"It is an OEM (Black/White label) drive. And as such, is customized for that companies application at their request. Also at their request I cannot divulge what is different. There are no CF compliance labels on it since it is NOT Compact Flash Org compliant. Only our retail package (blue label) drives are truly CF Compliant as indicated by the CF mark on them. Hence, they will work in all cameras that are also CF complaint.

Other OEM drives with different part numbers are also not CF compliant and meet the requirements of that customer. All are subject to change without notice as well. So if you have an OEM drive that works now, one from that same mfg may not work later on...."

According to the compatibility link, it does not list any Dell handhelds.
