Which N contacts am I to choose? What if the ones I need to contact in that luddite-environment situation aren't among my 10 most used/ 10 most favorite/ etc. contacts? What if 10 isn't enough for me? the beauty of my convergence device is: I don't need to pick my N most favorite, or N most used -- I have access to all of my 100's of contacts all the time, whether I'm connected or not.



And, to get to your qPIM ... in other words, your convergence device model requires that you violate the convergence device concept (keeping it all in one place, accessing it all with one device) in order to avoid edge conditions. That would seem to immediately refute the validity of your convergence device, as it has just stopped being a convergence device.

And, conceptually, when looking past the media involved ... your qPIM process involves "syncing". In this case, syncing to print/paper. You are, once again, violating your own model (you implied syncing can/will/should become a thing of the past, and be un-necessary).

So, a convergence device that requires a companion device ... and involves syncing. Remind me again how your convergence device is _actually_ a convergence device?
