How much space is there on the back of the pandora? Would there be space to mod in another USB port? At the same time you'd fix the issues with low speed and full speed devices on the regular size USB port that's already there.

A stripped down USB hub with no ports will hopefully fit inside the case...
 
Of course, this is pure speculation as we've not seen the finished case yet, but: going by the PCB alone there might just be enough room for one extra USB port between the existing one and the power socket. As for fitting a hub, I think you'd need to find a particularly tiny one to cram it in, although I guess the ports themselves generally make up the bulk of a modern hub, so you might just get away with it. If it's mainly the speed conversion you're after, maybe you could replace the existing port with a modified hub or active extension cable? Unless one of the team decide to divulge something here, it's likely to be a case of waiting to see what fits when the thing arrives.
