I just don't see it. In fact these are probably the last things I'd want to see in a portable console. Reliability and far better battery life seem the antithesis of putting a hard drive and BT in there. How will having a hard drive or bluetooth make it a ‘dream handheld’?

Dangle a few more carrots, why don't you. Dammit, Sony... Sigh.

Dangle a few more carrots, why don’t you.

Dammit, Sony…

If the hdd were going to be internal (which it was from the looks of the tiny new Samsung hdd the rumours purported), then probably something as simple as just soldering the connecting cables to the various points on the motherboard. @cory1492:

I brings me to wonder what additional hardware they would need to design to interface those parts. Though i can't say i'm too much of a hard drive fan, the bluetooth would have been quite interesting. Very interesting, SilverSpring.

Perhaps they are finally learning? Funny you don’t mention things that were taken out of the “phat” on the slim, like the pretty much completely unused IR port (a la 1394/HDD on PS2 redesign.)
