Little extras to make the P2 unusual?

[Binky]

I was trying to think of small / cheap additions or design features for the P2 that would give it many tiny gains on competing gadgets.


So far I thought of:

• hardware dip switches to cut power to radios, cameras etc
  
• IRDA for talking to old gadgets, functioning as a universal remote
  
• function buttons down the sides
  
• unmount buttons next to SD slots (mwoahahah! more buttons!)
  
• enough Indicator leds to use as a system monitor
  
• A space to put custom pictures/etc behind a transparent lid covering
  
• tbc

Easily swappable buttons.. so you could buy/make stes of buttons that look similar but not exactly to other older consoles controls and then place them in when you want to play the emulated console of choice.

Little fluffy dice to hang from the top screen

4 Shoulderbuttons.


No other handheld has them.

Ship it stock with a Blinkenlights screen saver. Preferably in the old stop-light green on black old terminal script scrolling slowly @ 1 line per 2 or so seconds over the screen.
