yes, but that wouldn't solve all the problems: You'd still have something hanging off the bottom of the phone. You'd still have trouble getting 5volt out of a 3.3volt phone without emptying the battery real fast. It is still hard to charge the phone while connecting an accessory to it. Connecting more then one accessory would be a mess. Many accessories like infra-red eye or RF sender (for remote control applications), and many others don't have a USB interface. Of course, if FIC themselves don't release a flexible accessory platform, like the proposed smart-battery with payload, and the NEO becomes popular, a company like Velleman for instance might well release a range of accessories.
