I would love to have a pocket computer that could, say, switch what armor I was wearing, or sort my inventory for me. Inventory editing already exists in some capacity for turtles, so it would be an interesting expansion to probably the least utilized type of computer.

Shameless self promotion: I'm currently working on a mod which provides similar features: the ability to interact with the player's inventory, ender chest and other blocks.

For the mean time there are some mods which add "player interface" blocks (Peripherals++ and Pneumatic Craft come to mind) which allow you to interface with the player's inventory via a computer.

You know, if only item-moving abilities are given, viruses can only move items, not destroy them.
And for that case, pocket computers shouldn't be able to move themselves, or else an infected pocket computer could change it's position within the inventory, making it impossible to get rid of it.
