What would you like to do with you PPC?

[birdie]

I would like for my HP iPAQ 4150 (and 512Mb SD Card):

For Work (Computer Technician):
-To be able to use my iPAQ as a intelligent network cable tester.

For Personal:
-To have a BT or some other connection CF (actually any media card) reader so i can "steal" photos of mates when i forget (or batteries go flat like last weekend :S) to take my digi-camera with me to partys etc (ATM one of my mates digi-cam uses SD so i just take my card out transfer 64Mb (or whatever the freespace is) of photos then stick my card back in transfer them to my card, then continue until i have all the photos i want)

-To be able to connect to my iPod for external 10G storage. BT would be cool. So if there is a usb host to BT adaptor it would be cool.

I am sure there will be other things I would like to use it for but thats all I can think of atm.

-If the uni has wifi access (b or g) then any ppc with wifi would be able to do that
-ppc has that built in, either by on screen keyboard, or transcribing, or you could get external KB (IR, BT or even a 4350 with an integrated thumb board)
-depending on the language yes i guess you could program on it. I am not sure about PPC compliers though.
-Games, theres plenty of them, and any PPC with BT can do Bluejacking.
-not sure if you can get a program that you can scrible all over PDFs on PPC. There is a PPC Adobe Acrobat reader, but i don't think you can scrible over docs with it

My 4150 does pretty much everything I want it to do. I'd like to stream the olympics over the network from the box with the DTV card in it though.

Oh, and I wouldn't mind a USB host transfer method so I could connect my USB keys to it and such. And a 640x480 screen for web browsing. But that said, the 4150 was a good choice at the time and it's still a very capable machine.
