altoids are sold in certain UK supermarkets notably waitrose and morrisons for £1.25 with local random shops sometimes selling them cheaper (~£1) also these charger boost boards could be used (and are quite tiny, especially if the USB A socket is removed) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5V-1A-1-2A-Power-...

This could allow people to use the regular Pi Zero and transfer the ROMs via USB stick or to connect a WiFi dongle only when necessary. I'd rather not have the WiFi or Bluetooth running all the time. €dith: nvm, just read that the ...
