EEPROM & Bs2pe

I have two questions,

First is: Is it possible to add more eeprom to a Bs2 module (any)

Second: What is the Bs2pe used for, I want to buy a BS2 module but I need it for various things: Gas sensor, temp, humidity, gps, motion detection, pressure sensor, timer for time, compass, a light, radio and ir remote, and an lcd (128 x 64)

Thanks in advance

    The BS2pe provides all the functions of the BS2p family, but with lower power consumption, at the expense of lower speed than a BS2p. It finds wide use in battery-powered remote sensing and data acquisition products (see http://www.emesystems.com/), and in the MoBoStamp-pe, which can be powered from a USB port.

    You can add EEPROM for data storage to any BS2 module, but it would be completely separate from the existing EEPROM (and not usable for program storage). The BS2p/pe/px modules can access this EEPROM easier than other BS2 modules using the built-in I2C statements. Other BS2 modules have to use I2C subroutines as shown in one of the Nuts and Volts Columns.
