Some ideas for a modularised set of gadgets that work together in a personal network [e.g., "on the body"]:
- PDA [provides touch sensitive screen, other input possibilities, wifi, some storage]
- Music player [provides hdd storage, has small screen and controls for standalone functioning]
- Cellphone [provides gsm/3G uplink, possibly snapshot camera/video chat possibilities]
- Wireless foldable keyboard
- GPS/Galileo mouse
- Digital camera [can use GPS for recording coordinates in EXIF, bluetooth to store to hdd alongside its own card storage, pda can show pictures from hdd on its biggish screen]
- Wristwatch with stats/phone & music controls etc
- [Bluetooth?] stereo headset with microphone
Bluetooth 2 or low-power, quite highspeed equivalent connects it all. The PDA can control the music player and the cellphone [answer/make calls, send text messages etc].
