Backpacked mobile device

Consider a two part mobile device. One part is very dumb and small and handheld. The other part is larger, designed to be carried in a backpack. The large part contains the power-hungry and voluminous components: main radios, plenty of disk storage, powerful CPU, and large battery. The small part contains only a display and a low-power radio with a range of only a meter or so for communicating with the large component.
