external battery/power source, usb hub, memory card reader/microdrive combo
 

this is a wishlist, for a device which combines the following

- memory card reader which can take a microdrive or the intermediate 1.8" hard drives with more capacity
- powered usb hub
- battery pack, for topping up the tablet and powering the usb hub

this would be a very useful accessory; bonus points if it were combined with a nano or pico keyboard to turn the tablet into a clamshell!

Have you seem this?

No memory card reader, which is a shame, though it does have:-
Clip on Keyboard, makes it into a clamshell
External power source in the keyboard
USB
Clip on speakers
Clip on UCC editor (what is that BTW)

Is this close enough?
