Battery Pack
Reduce size of commercially available personal interconnectivity devices (PICs) | |
Since batteries, disk drives, film canisters, backlights and antennæ seem to be the parts that create the bulkiest devices--consolidate them into a pack that could be worn on the waist. Tie them into the PIC with a single hybrid wire/fiberoptic cable.

Having mulled this idea over for a bit, I'm not sure the
inconvenience outweighs the potential advantages |

Also, in the intervening 20 years, all that stuff has become
much smaller (or obsolete...). Pretty much the only part
that could benefit from this is having a larger battery. |

Or perhaps a battery with the same form factor, but much higher capacity ... ? |

We are sure that you can be convinced of the innumerable advantages ... |
