I do not think that would really not work very well for additional
sensor ideas and the like. Although for a camera I would be a great
deal more likely to use a phone, and or PDA, connecting a mouse (or
trackball) as a sensor would be cool - especially an optical one. As
you were saying regarding memory, being able to connect at least a
storage device may allow a few bigger options here.
One of the reasons I was sorely disappointed with vision command was
the umbilical to the PC.
