Just plug in an ethernet adapter, an external hard drive and the superdrive, and you're set! One could imagine an all-in-one connector that would integrate audio+USB+Micro-DVI so that you would be able to use external audio, a larger screen plus all your USB devices in one fell swoop...

For some reason, while I was reading this, I was just thinking how much you always loved to the Duo, and how close this form factor is to a modern Duo. Give us a MacBook Air dock, and I think the circle would be complete. Adam Ha!
