What is your wish they made it module dream?

In my daydreaming, I occasionally come up with ideas for small PCBs that perform one or two functions, but would be useful to have for circuits and breadboarding. I use these ideas to build my skills with DipTrace. Here are some of my wishlist modules:
1) USB to Serial backpack for BS2. This would be a DIP socket style PCB with a FT232 and mini USB connector. The BS2 would plug into it and then into your circuit. This would give direct USB access to the stamp in a final design, but would minimize the space required. Kind of like having a USB to serial adapter on the bottom side of your BS2. I have it half drawn in DipTrace.
2) Mini size PCBs with SIP leads for custom circuits that are frequently used. I have one laid out in DipTrace that is based on a reference design using a QFN package high quality stereo 1W audio amp. The PCB is the size of a postage stamp.
3) Touch sensor module. For easily adding touch sense "buttons" to your design. I have a sample from Qtouch that I would like to redesign into a nicer layout.
Anyhow, what "module" do you wish was available and why?

This way I'd be able to program my stamps 'in-situ' simply by plugging the 4 wires into the breadboard.
