> I thought maybe keeping connectors on the keyboard side.
I believe the pogo pins on the tablet are USB, so in theory it would just be a case of there being a USB hub in the lower part - which would then extend to your various I/O (minus high speed connectors).
> I like your idea about a tablet with PBP hardware.
I don't know if you own a PineTab, but I can tell you that with just the A64 and 2GB of RAM in the laptop format it's severely under-powered. I've managed to get it to do a lot, including video playback, Firefox with 20 tabs, coding C+ and compiling all at the same time, but that's about all it has available. There really were no resources to spare.
I wrote a list of recommendations for the PineTab in an article, but we'll see... http://coffeespace.org.uk/projects/review-pinetab.html
