Ds for playing games. Each device does a job and does it well. I'd preferr this to 1 device that does each poorly.

Just my 2 cents

I think your missing the point, your saying you are happier with 4 things that do their jobs well rather than one that does them all poorly! and I am with you on that but your asking the wrong thing..

The fascination is that companies are trying to make a device that does them ALL well.

You would happily swap your 4 devices for one if that one fulfilled all of your needs.

right now Im pretty much the same as you except I can lose the touch because i have an iPhone and it has everything I need for phone and Music. and games, No joy with the awful camera though.

So im down to 2 devices.

getting all 4 in one plus a reader equal to my PRS 300 would be a beautiful thing.
