After seeing some prototype artwork at Gizmodo, I thought the same concept could be easily applied to the N900.

The idea is extremely simple, but extremely powerful. The unit has standardized holes/clips/slots that external add-on hardware could be attached to. These attachments would have their own power supplies (if necessary), and would interface directly with the device (via downloadable applications) to extend the functions of the tablet and add personal customization.

Here are some suggestions for add-ons:
1) HQ point-and-shoot/video camera complete w/ flash and tri-pod mount-ability
2) external wireless network adapter for various wireless networks
3) video-out attachment (vga, dvi, component) for external screen viewing
4) extended life battery pack (2 to 3 times longer life)
5) memory expansion add-on with 4 full-size SD and full-size usb port (usb flash)
6) bar code reader (for warehouses, organization freaks)
7) game-pad controller w/ programmable buttons
8) infrared "remote" attachment w/ laser pointer (good for presentations)
9) 2x N900 attachment connecting two units nintendo-DS style (1337? )
10) robotics connector for automated/remote controlled home-brew bots
11) docking-bay attachment, for full-sized keyboard/screen/mouse functionality
12) greatly simplified external car/wall/desk mounts that use the new connectors
13) FM transmitter for wireless in-car listening
14) hard case attachment, that folds over to conceal and protect the device (ships with the unit)
15) storage attachment, for small physical items
16) inductive charging attachment for induction charging mats

I would totally rock the camera on my N900. I'd probably keep the gamepad close by as well...

Of these, which types of add-ons would you use? What would you like to see that hasn't been listed?
