I/O options. Why not get something not totally out of date to begin with?
My personal reasons for being attracted to the Pi are, 1, that it's vastly better engineered and supported than other linux+ARM solutions I've seen; and 2, although I'm not sure about this, it seems to dissipate much less power than ARMV7 soutions making it easier to make standalone gadgets with it.
So are there low-cost battery packs made to go with it that are "plug and go"? From what I read it sounds really tricky.

I don't know what specifically people are doig, just that there are projects popping up all the time in which people use Pis in autonomous devices that fly or drive around. I'm actually planneng to give this a first try myself tomorrow at Crashspace in LA (http://blog.crashspace.org/ - second posting down) - but I'll be borrowing a battery pack from Joe Deken of New Blankets who's helping instigate the event.
