Yeah seriously. I'd said a while back that a 'modular' approach would kick ***. Basically a self powered USB HDD. (Kind of like my 40GB mp3 player *cough*). A self powered USB webcam. Etc, etc. I can understand Nokia not wanting to jump into the peripherals market 'cause that's a HUGE undertaking but given they did something right by not making all of those bells & whistles integrated, now it's the time for add-ons.

What I *want* to do (but need to research more) is gut an existing USB keyboard (haven't found any USB thumbboards), and cram the guts into something like the picture you previously posted. Voila. Problem is nobody is really piping up, but guaranteed if it was completed and pics were posted this thread would nail 500 posts in a day. *sigh*
