A skull shaped mobile device with a chorded keyboard on the back.

Assume pose, extend arm and tickle the back of the skull to compose those extended sms's to loved ones.

       If I may make a suggestion without stepping on your toes, bigs, I think a laser projection keyboard would go great with this, so that you can stare the skull in the eyes (which should glow red, I think) as you type. I don't think there are currently any projection keyboards that are chorded, but surely it could be done.   

       Edit: If you're looking for something you can use while in-pose, I found a great piece of existing technology you could probably hook up to your Skull PDA that will allow you the kind of flexibility I think you're looking for. (linky)

       Would 'Yorik' dictate back what had been typed, to give you a check, or would a small screen be hiding in his mouth, out of site of curious onlookers?
