- How much power is outputted by a raspberry pi USB port? I was thinking modules could be all connected by USB, but we may run into power issues if we don't use an externally powered ( possibly by the battery module ) USB hub.

- On the subject of screens there is a device called the "manga screen" it is fully open source both in hardware and software. It is around the dimensions of a phone screen, has either a 720p or a 1080p screen, and is multitouch capable. It also uses standard USB and HDMI, no weird connectors. It may be worth a look, and here are some links.
