The convergence device currently has a major power problem. Look at the iPhone... its a phone, a PDA, a video viewer, and ebook reader. But, if you used it for most of the day other than keeping it in your pocket the battery dies before that day does.

I've been saying that all along. Use your multifunction phone for all but calls and when you need to make a call, good luck as the battery is dead.

Go on, play your games, listen to your music, surf the web, drain the battery.
