* One or more Sheevaplugs providing processing power (Tiny, anonymous servers sitting and fitting in an electrical plug)
My Sheevaplug is arriving tomorrow, according to the UPS tracking information they gave me! There was a month backorder on it.

I would like two things:

1. Something akin to Texrat/Joluis' pocketable server idea. If there was a battery operated Sheevaplug (a Sheevapocket?) with WiFi AP and more I/O options, for instance Video out, that would rock for my purposes. I would attach a 3G USB Stick to it and this would form the backbone to my mobility.

2. A Wi-Fi SIP phone. The reason for one of these is that a simple phone interface with hardware keys is a robust platform for a phone. It also frees up my tablet for surfing and net-centric type usage. Those Accton SIP phones would meet my purpose. I could use it to either tie to my Home Asterisk or my Gizmo accounts via my pocketable server for a cell-free call environment. It would be nice to have it as simple and small as possible and use my contacts list from the tablet.
