The main idea I had was to plug everything through the 40pin connector. 
All the stuff will be contained in a case in parallel of the MiniMoko 
one. (a kind of 'slice' if you want).
They wanted us to design the schema of what should be included & the 
connections.

For my part, I started with
- 1 usb hub
     |---->  free miniusb connector (to connect the outside world)
     |---->  3G usb key (some of them are working out of the box, got to 
find which)
     |---->  GPS USB dongle (no idea of which one for now)
     \---->  Internal USB Port
- Powering capabilities (through USB / extra battery?)

There will be a problem in what size all this stuff will be, and as the 
MiniBook is 0.9cm wide, I don't want to make a hufghr sandwich !

If you have any idea/reference, it'll be welcome !
