I see a portable dedicated device with very limited communications ability.  Just a serial port will do, which probably means serial over USB or serial over bluetooth.  It will also have a SD card socket for wallet backups.

I think this could help with the retail problem too; no reason why you couldn't plug it into a potentially hostile terminal.

How will you ensure, that the 2.00 BTC which the hostile terminal shows you are about to pay isn't 450.00 BTC. Ie: How do you plan to deal with the hostile display issue? Will your device have its own screen?

Yes, it will have a display.  I guess I didn't mention that, but it is absolutely essential.

It can either show the address, and ask for an amount.  Or it can show the address and amount, and ask for a Yes/No.
