    An external battery, makers have to use the board with mobile systems (robot, rover etc...).

    +1 on a battery. Preferably thin custom made high capacity battery.
    And if that won't happen at least a ups circuit made for the udoo that supports lithium batteries.

    I'd like to see a durable case. The open, acrylic case included in the Kickstarter rewards is great for workbench development and testing, but worrying for my daily, non-maker uses. (I'm thinking something similar to this sheet metal case for the original UDOO.)

    There really aren't any commercially-available cases for any of the UDOO boards. Almost all of the cases I've found are only available in a digital format. I get that UDOO targets makers, who likely have the ability to take these designs, or create their own, and build or print them, and that's great; but not everyone has easy access to those tools. I feel like not being able to buy a closed, durable case kind of shuts out the non-maker crowd. In my case, my UDOO Quad has been sitting in the box since I got it, because I can't readily get a decent case for it.

    In replying to this thread, I ended up drafting a spec for my ideal case, which seemed more appropriate in the Cases subforum: Spec for a modular case for UDOO x86 and Dual/Quad boards

    Am in agreement with the battery and case options. On top of that I'd like the ability to purchase a compatible/large touchscreen - with all relevant connection cables.

    I can't wait for this excellent board!

    I like the idea of a touch screen but 7"-10" touch screens are already largely available. And it is actually cheaper if you buy a premade tablet. ( for anyone interested in screens search for 10" USB hdmi touch screen and you will find a load of them)
    I would like to see a smaller maybe 6" full HD touch screen or at least 6" capacitive USB touch panel. I've already bought a full HD 6" screen in anticipation for this board but finding a compatible touch panel is next to impossible. All screens in that size are MIDI DSI and the touch is next to impossible, or at least crazy expensive, to get working.

    A better case that could hold the M.2 items as well as the motherboard and some kind of battery option and then a touchscreen.

    @Failzor a cooling option is the fan, already preorderable in our shop.
    @toriless @Failzor: I'm sad to tell you that by now there's nothing in the pipeline for a better case.

    I must say i'm quite disappointed :(
    Without a better case i'm not that hyped over this board anymore.

    Anyway M.2 accessories, SSD and even SATA disk fit the case with no problem.

    We've stopped prototyping a case different than the acrylic case and we won't probably start again anytime soon. Honestly there's nothing in the pipeline about making a new case.

    I believe UDOO plan to release a NIC accessory that uses the PCIe bus. I'm not sure of the intended release date.

    Thank you for the reply Laura. I'll wait to see when they release it. Otherwise I think I found a m.2 card that will do the job
