Just saw a product anouncement from CES. The Bug is a modular mini computer with gps and accel modules ready to buy. You would think there would be plenty of applications for uav's. Plus the software is open source so you can develop your own modules.

Yeah, I've been tracking this since it was vaporware, and noone believed it was going to happen.

This little device is cool as beans as it is completely modular, allowing you to attach whatever you need on a mission by mission basis. They will also be releasing a blank module in which you can develop your own board for whatever you want.

Currently the modules out there are GPS, Camera, LCD touchscreen, accelerometer, and the humorous "Teleporter". There is a buglabs forum that you can sign up on which points to requests for other modules, and supposedly the top 80 will be built.

EDIT: Looks like they have a mini keyboard now too... Meh.
