  • pass-through for headphones
  • VGA out would be fantastic if possible (are there USB -> VGA interfaces?)
  • Built-in stand for propping the whole thing up
  • Slotted in 770 with some kind of restraint to keep it in once docked.

A larger unit which allowed the inclusion of a 2.5" laptop HD connected over USB could also be very interesting.
Instead of the traditional stand I am thinking of using about 2 ft of 1/2 in flexible gas pipe attached to my base. This will allow for a close to the face viewing position hands free.
