BlueTooth, WiFi are built-in to the newest-generation PDAs, the CF slot elimination could make room for a USB host. A doubled SD slot would increase the flash storage possible and reduce the need for a MicroDrive, and your GPS receiver should already be bluetooth! CF is a standard which has already seen its peak. I will mourn my CF cards lying unused in a drawer somewhere, but will rejoice in the features its elimination allowed.
