This is a good idea about 5 years too late. Remember the ipaq pocket pcs with expansion sleeves - a really popular device some years ago - a pocket pc with additonal expansion jackets for a camera, memory for mp3s, wifi, TV etc. What actually happened to this is as more pdas began to incorporate the functions in to the actual device the novelty wore off. Why carry a device with lots of different expansion modules when you can everything all in one in a realtively small package anyway.
The biggest problem with this is that when the ipaq was released there were not many other PDA options avilable, it was slick and different and many were sold. Today you can already buy phones with all of these functions built in.
