My little purse always has a cell phone, MP3 player, camera, GPS and my nook. It is getting very heavy and how I wish one device can replace them all; however, that one device needs to fit the following bill.
Camera: Point and shoot with enough feature for manual adjustment, 10M pixels, at least 12x optical zoom, wide angle, 15 minutes HD movie.
MP3 player: small enough to clip on to my outfit. Good sound quality and battery life.
GPS: Live traffic, fast satellite tracking, large screen, lane assist, Europe/N. America maps, automatic route avoidance, no monthly fee.
Cell Phone: Good reception, text message, please don't drop calls.
Ereader: Small enough to fit inside my purse. At least 6" Screen for reading.
Tablet: Nice to have for web browsing and e-mails. Same size as Ereader.
I honestly don't see how a smart phone can't replace all of these. A device trying to do everything will end up compromising all functions. Some of these are really conflicting requirements and I honesty don't see how technology will lead us there anytime soon.
