CF USB is all well and good, but then you have the problem of storage.
We actually worked on the Zaurus PDA for a while, but it had its own
share of problems (though it did have USB host and VGA out!).

It turns out that the Bluetooth Twiddler was going to be really really
expensive. And the Twiddler is already really expensive. So. We're
working on one, but I don' tknow if/when it will see the light of day.

I'm put off by having to install a driver. The PS/2 Twiddler you can
just plug into someone's laptop to give them a demonstration. Under
Linux, it's a kernel patch, and should you have to debug, well, you
can't do it with the serial Twiddler. I'm very much against drivers
for input devices.
