Yes. I don't think we've come close to the optimal screen displays yet-a lot of that technology is ahead of us.
I do wonder what people object more to in multifunction devices-the perceived/actual compromises that each individual function has, or the perceived/actual cost of the additional functions. A lot of "extras" that people may think add cost, like Bluetooth or music are pretty negligible in terms of chip/processing costs, whereas something like 3G can add pretty substantial licensing/testing costs to a product.
