PixelQI screen please. 10-12 inch display. Less fussed about display
res. There are nice usability features of GNU/Linux distributions with
DE's like Gnome Shell.

Some thing like (but even better :D) the AI Touch Book would be
preferred (Netbook and tablet in one package.).

Or do we cut out the screen all together? Instead one uses these
glasses like thing which one wears over ones eyes.

Decent EFFICIENT speakers would be fantastic. It's decibels per watt,
not more watts = more decibels. I expect it to be 1W or less but
fantastically loud for its size. Not concerned if it is stereo or
mono. Not much point in it being stereo, with this size of device
because you won't get the stereo effect from a <0.5M distance.
Note I am not an audio expert so I can't help you. Sorry, would if I
could. I do want to learn about audio though.

Or if the speaker is just going to be a naff one or as well as a
speaker what about a piezo sounder? Notifications, Alarms, Anti theft,
Wrong password, etc.

A nice fat red button would be nice if it would not get in the way.
Thinking along the lines of Self Destruct :'( or panic/oops or
whatever button.

Compartment and power + control for pipe, smoke/stink, flash, flare,
thermite bomb :o.

With a tablet option, GPS would make for a useful edition or could we
have space inside for what ever we want? Whether it's a tablet or not.
Like a USB dongle(s) or an Express card(s)?

Rechargeable AA battery’s for the battery pack would be good?

Very low power radio thing for anti leave behind alarm? Lasts longer
the a BlueTooth one.
