This was almost exactly what I was thinking when I first started buying
parts for my wearable, but I have decided to add a full size hard
drive (in addition to the flash drive), and I regret the cardpc cpu. It's
a very nice little unit, but it's quite expensive.  You also need to buy 
a pc/104 carrier board to plug the smos card into, other wise you would
have to generate 3.3 and 5v for the card and deal with the tiny edge
connector. You also wouldn't be able to add additional pc/104 cards
without it.
