the main mod i'm interested in and will probably end up attempting myself is a swivel for the screen, giving it tabletPC like functionality. don't ask me why i want it, i just do.
on a side note, anybody know if they will be selling extra cases for the Pandora for people like me who tend to butcher things a couple of times before getting it right? I'd rather NOT have a Pandora that's been duct-taped back together, as i think it'll be not only tacky, but also give people a bad impression.

I absolutely want to see a good how-to on a mod that installs some L2/R2 shoulder buttons to the provided contacts on the board, preferably something low-profile that isn't going to jab me in the leg or poke holes in my pockets. 'C' and 'Z' buttons I could take or leave, however PSX was the first with the L3/R3 clickable analog sticks, and a few games started using them that early. Those I'll probably map to the keyboard somewhere close to the nubs.
IR has some potentially interesting uses. As a "How To" mod it would be nice to have (I have a Robosapien that runs on an IR sensor) but I can take or leave it.
I'm not big on cameras, however hardware that is "Video-Ready" seems to be the standard at this point. I think if the OP team was planning an upgrade to the hardware DSi-type cameras would be necessary just to meet the baseline expectation.
The flashy lights I can do without. A pretty case is nice and if it was a desktop or had a few days worth of charge-time I'd be interested, but they chew up the battery and I need my 'hours in operation'.
My $0.02.

not really a mod as such but would love to have a webcam on my pandora.
Trouble is getting drivers that might work. then i would have the ultimate skype machine
something like...
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/USB-Driverless-6- ... 5|294%3A50
Would be great (i know it'll look rubbish picture wise) big hurdle would be driver issues :/ which is a shame. i'd rather have a dedicated camera for my pandora than use my desktop webcam as its bulky.
Another mod i would love to see is paint jobs really. LED lights are annoying mods now. paint jobs are awesome

There are plenty of cams that will work with Linux. Not sure if that ne will or not, I guess somebody would have to try it.
It would be quite cool though, you could fit some kind of swivel-hinge to the side of the Pandora to hold it in place and adjust direction

DX has many small webcams, this one looks like it would fit the Pandora perfectly: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.15312 - drivers might be an issue
