It's possible, but complicated.

A) "Your custom rig can be configured to take up an upgrade slot on your armor"

B) "In addition, you can use your custom rig as a Mk I comm unit (see Equipment)."

C) "You can upgrade a personal comm unit to function as some other devices (such as full computers and scanners) by spending credits equal to 110% of the additional device’s price."

D) "Androids have a single armor upgrade slot in their bodies. Regardless of whether androids are wearing physical armor, they can use this slot to install any one armor upgrade that could be installed into light armor."

So basically, you can install your custom rig into your body armor slot, and then upgrade it to be a computer, and interface with it directly.

I know a lot of people see the Kineticist and think Avatar, but it makes me think of Liz from Hellboy, which brings it back into the Occult fold, in my mind.

I would love to see a sherlockian steampunk mystery set in Alkenstar. Because of the uncertainty of magic, they wouldn't be able to just use divination magic to uncover the mystery, so they'd have to actually do detective work in a whodunit fashion, maybe exploring more of the local politics and steam tech in the process. It might be a good way to bring in an Investigator as a main character. With its proximity to Geb, perhaps a female Dhamphir Investigator? If not Dhamphir, then I'd love to see a female dwarf be a main character.

I've toyed around with androids before in Golarion, and I always run them as the eyes/ears/scouts of the Silver Mount's AI/Master Computer/Mainframe, trying to learn more about this strange new land that they've found themselves in.

I also view android wizards as extremely viable.

"So if I just do this... with this material... and I say this... this effect happens?"

Sounds pretty close to the Scientific Method to me. Do X properly and you reliably get Y result.

My biggest issue with Golarion?

Do we really need 5 adventure paths and several more modules set in Varisia? There are corners of the region, let alone the world, that are just begging for an adventure path! I'd love to see one set in Rahadoum, or Hermea, or Alkenstar, or lets get a little crazy and explore Vudra, or the Pit of Gormuz, or even Sarusan! But we get yet another one, set in good ol' Sandpoint... c'mon, really??

Aside from that, I'm honestly pretty okay with everything else, for the most part. Personally, I really do love having the ability to bring robots into my fantasy game, or gunslinging elves, should I want to... but then, I was also a huge fan of Piers Anthony's Apprentice Adepts series, and a huge steampunk enthusiast.
