I haven't opened mine up to have a look around inside, but I will do that and see how it compares - I can also compare it to one that doesn't have either the power connector or modem.
You can use the QPP as a USB keyboard on-the-go, and then upload documents to your computer later via USB
I've attached an image of my board for reference. There are 4 empty white rectangles on the board I labeled in blue:
RJ11 - Where the phone jack goes
64 PIN MODEM - I am pretty sure this space is for a 64 pin modem chip. If your board matches mine, we can lookup the datasheet of your chip and easily identify the exposed vias. How cool would it be if those pads are just a serial port we could bring out?
7pin - no idea what could go here, there are 7 pins laid out like they should have a connector here, but what?
WIEL3 - this box appears to be labelled WIEL3 on the upper right. That's all I got.
You can see the power connector (in an angle?!) in the upper right. If the layouts match your board without the power circuit, we could identify any extra components for people to upgrade.
The Quickpad has a mode where it functions as a real keyboard in addition to just sending files as kb input. You type and it's passed through to the computer, function keys and all, interactively. It's listed in the QP manual and works well (you can navigate in the BIOS, etc). It is even supposed to work over IR, but I don't have the QP IR reciever to test.
The QPP doesn't seem to have this mode -- it's not activated the same way and not mentioned in the QPP manual.
Back to power: can you tell the barrel measurement? I don't seem to have anything that physically fits in my box-o-warts
