Not all that many, I'm not a hardware guy.  Most hardware things I can
think of need one or more of:

- ethernet and/or wifi
- realtime clock
- very low power (much lower than rpi)
- tiny (wearable) size
- sub-millisecond deterministic timing (not a Linux strong point)
- tons of cpu (makes pi2 much more attractive than pi0)
- analog audio in/out (present on pi-A and pi2)
- camera interface (but I don't like the Pi cameras)
- etc.

Yes you can add most of that stuff to the pi0 but the cost of the
add-ons swamps the cpu board.  A power adapter for a pi0 costs more by
itself than the pi0 does.

I'm sure the Pi0 is good for some things (robotics?) but they are
somewhat niche even for embeded.  Of course the $5 price can't be beat.
So if you've got some cool application ideas, I'd be happy to hear them.
