Remember the days when you had a mobile phone and a MP3 player and a photo camera? Now, people seem to want them all in one device. And, please, add the PDA to it as well. Oh, while you're at it, add an e-reader too!

Personally, I don't like that development (oh shoot, I drowned my mobile phone, and now I can't listen to my MP3 player anymore, and I really would have loved to take that picture, I've no idea what is in my calendar and I can't finish that book anymore!). I like having several devices for different functions (so, after I drowned my phone, I still had my PDA on which I keep my calendar and read my books, and my photo camera to take pictures with).
I agree.

I see this, especially if in colour, in a 'magazine' application rather than an ebook.....(how many readers do not use a version of black on white?) though there could be some areas of life where it could be useful to have something that looks almost an A3 size - education and presenting are a couple that spring to mind.

Yep, pretty much my thought ....
