One of our first stops today was at the Bug Labs booth. The guys there showed us a modular system that looked very interesting. The BUG has a Linux based "mainframe" into which you can plug various modules, such as a display (with touchscreen), a GPS receiver, a camera, a motion sensor, a cell phone module etc.

The device is based on open source, and that does not just extend to the software - the hardware is open source too, and everybody can create their own modules. Modules can also be plugged in and out while the system is running.
