Yes.  To start, they could add MP3 playing ability to digital cameras.  That
should not cost too much to add, although you'd want a larger memory card to
store all the songs and pictures.

It aught to use a reflective screen to get a lot of hours from.  As for memory,
get what you can afford.  I'd like gigs to store movies, but that's too
expensive, so I'd like a broadband cell-modem to watch them on the fly.
