Just had a thought. One of the Bluetooth-enabled Gumstix just might fit inside a twiddler case. I'll have to pull apart my v1.0 Twiddler and check when I get home next week (in the UK all this week). In the Gumstix community there is a great need for more hardware/mechanical board-mounting options. A "version 3" Twiddler may be just what's needed, especially if you combine it with something like the new thumbstix-gs. It has Li-Ion battery connections, LCD connections (possibly for a simple character buffer display) and can be USB powered/charged, and has the obvious USB-device mode for plugging into host systems directly.
