Anything but SD for "expansion" will increase the size of the device enormously and possibly lead off another doomed proprietary card format. I much prefer a supported and solid USB host capability so virtually anything can be plugged in, pending driver support. The n800 is nice in the fact that it can power smaller things like some card readers and mice/keyboards.

I would love to see a good PIM suite, and *maybe* some office-type applications. It's surprisingly hard to get any full-on office work done on such a small screen; I've tried it on Palms and other PDAs with mixed success. --A lot of scrolling involved.

Please, no microSD! Standard SD/SDHC only, as smaller cards will always lag the larger cards in density.

And finally, please do NOT include a phone! I don't want to have to pay a monthly fee to keep my device working or compromise even further on other functions to fit the additional chipset in.
