In February 2008, SanDisk announced SD cards with a built-in, fold-out USB connector, eliminating the need for a card reader. Did these ever reach the market? I've never seen one. theregister.com/Print/2008/02/

I'm pondering design for a super minimal #pocketComputer, not a phone replacement but rather a device tailored to do only what's useful to me not distracting, basically what do i need on an average day out when i don't want to be stuck in my phone?

Ideally i could make this modifiable in a way that anyone could tailor it to their own needs and make one, so:

If you had to choose 4 essential features to leave your phone at home, what would they be?
