[QUOTE=So now I'm batman with three gadgets to lug around. I know this is a religious topic with some but convergence is the key. People don't want to carry more gadgets, they want to do more with less.[/QUOTE]
People usually don't know what they really want, otherwise they would do what they really wanted to do without complaining about being tied down with multiple mobile devices. If you want less to carry, carry less. It's really that simple. Good luck finding an all-in-one mobile device that does all those things right.

I think people are too quick to forget what the world was like without the current mobile devices. Without cellphones, high speed networks, and wifi and bluetooth. We've become so dependant on our mobile and wireless tech, that we would panic at even the hint of loosing the ability to use them. All it would take is a strong solar flare, or in the case of Katrina, a hurricane.

I'm not saying we should give up these wonderful tools of communication and recreation. I just think we should root ourselves in the knowledge that such technologies are merely tools that make using other tools (i.e. the Internet) easier.
