Is there any way to lock the keyboard? Out in the field, sometimes
the on button get pressed and the ppc turns on and draws battery,
can it be prevented?

I'm looking for something like usual cell phones have, where you
have to press 2 separate buttons to turn on the device.

In my case i have a ppc with numeric keyboard+appkeys.

Actually _every_ key does turn on the ppc, not only the on/off-button.
Can it be prevented?
 
I'd say no. Most likely, this is a hardware issue, so only the developer of
the device is going to know for sure. If the device is suspended, though,
and if pressing a key brings it out of suspend, that's going to have to be
handled at the very low OS level or with hardware. Besides that, if you
prevented it from turning on, how would it ever turn on when you wanted it
to?!
