You could use a USB stick as an extra memory storage or 
get an SDIO slot extender which will allow you to connect 
two devices to the unit (pending that the circuit supplies enough 
current for each slot, or rig it directly for an independend power 
supply).

For that matter you could use USB for keyboard, network etc..

Just tossing some ideas around...probably far away from reality
