Check out the M17 project, they seem to be making inroads in that area.

Mobilink tncs are really nice but you're still limited by APRS.

M17 sounds cool, but as near as I can tell you cant just buy some hardware for it. Its still a plug your PC into a generic radio technology (which is fine, but some people just want to spend the money to get a working all in one solution).
