Bundle them with a game controller and some Pangea software such as Nanausur or Bugdom. Make sure it has TV out. You would sell millions of these through Costco. I recall when they would sell Xbox or PS2 "bundles" with extra controllers and memory cards, etc for about $300.
Now you can buy a whole computer and game machine. Reminds me of the popularity of the C64 years ago.
A completely different thought, since they are small and presumably silent why not daisy-chain via firewire and stack several of these. You can then use the the xGrid utility to have a small grid computer.

I guess the PUR rep did know a thing or two, since PUR does make a hand pump for desalinating sea water.
PUR Desalinator
They mention that a couple lived for 66 days on a liferaft with one of these.
Just had a thought that what the new iPods allow you to do is to deliver visual books/presentations for people on the go.
I could imagine scanning or taking photos of pictures from a book or pictures that tell a story. You can then record an audio track that will either narate the pictures or tell the story using Garageband. Upload both the files to your ipod and you're ready to go.
I imagine my 4 year old son would really like looking at pictures of his favorite book and having his father narate the story. Great for long car rides.
