What if you came out with face plates for this new multifunctional device?
So you have a phone, pda, game machine,camera, gps, and ipod all in one device...If you could come up with either sliding interface components or snap on plates(sorta like the the stylish color plates for cell phones), only one would have a qwerty plate, game controller plate, tv remote plate, mp3 plate, PDA plate etc..
or just go with a touch screen which could mimic multiple interface options..granted it's not the same as having a nice tactile button to push, but it could let you have a vast amoutn of different interface options for a small hand held device.
Let these things evolve enough and pretty soon we'll all be walking around like neuromancer like(or maybe it was snow crash I can't remember) gargoyels, walking down the streets with our pocket computers all bluetoothed toegthor with qwerty wrist bands, shoulder mounted cameras, and eye patch HUD displays...
