What accessories would you like to see?

I’ll start with two:

1. A ‘folio’ type case like the Apple case/stand - but with two additions  
a. A ‘docking rail’ that includes SD and USB connectors.  
b. Space to carry the Apple bluetooth keyboard in the front cover.

2. A swivel dock to hang under the kitchen cabinet. Again, with a docking rail.

- nice apps for recipes and family ‘message board’
- for extra credit, include an optional ATSC/QAM tuner snapin and App to watch TV.
