If I ever get an urge to portablize one of these, I'm painting the case pink and calling it the Pinkie Pi.

This could make a very good media server that could easily fit in a backpack..
Just use a Bluetooth or wifi adapter, a battery, and an sd card or a flash drive

So, um.

$40 isn't that bad.

Before I decide to portablize one, someone tell me what I could do with it.

Umpc, dude. They can run Ubuntu on it.

That combined with what may be a plethora of embedded software built for it could mean a device that can take on any number of purposes with the swap of an sd card, and properly supported hardware.

I don't know how useful it will be for emulation, though, because although it can run 1080p video, the fact that it's hardware decoded may mean that it would struggle with anything past the maybe the snes or genesis.

Even I would be keen to make a portable pi for that price. It's like a PC and arduino had a tasty baby.

Hmm. How much would it cost (correct me if I'm wrong)? :
Dalian Good Display - 95$
Raspberry Pi Model B - 35$
OKW Softcase - Free Sample or 26$ (Not sure if it would fit? 6.9" Diagonal, but I don't know the dimensions of a display)
Input method - ? (No idea what to use in a portable one of these, anyone know of a nice, mini keyboard?)
Batteries - 40$ or so

Around 200$ Ish for a Pinkie Pi
Not bad.

Keep HDMI out, and use RCA for the display.

I'd probably go with one of the 4.3" ebay screens, and build a wrist computer instead. case would be 100% custom, probably PVC or something.

Been wanting one for awhile now.
