Mobiles dethroning the Mighty PC

What would you call a device that has a screen, a keyboard, storage for personal information such as contacts, email, documents, the ability to play audio and video files, some games, a spreadsheet program, and a communications capability? Sound like a personal computer? How about "mobile phone"?

Sounds utopian? Read here why it's not unreasonable to think now is a good time for the mobile phone to replace our old unhandy PC.

This may come in handy then:

100 GB of storage for your cell phone?

Not just phones. Think of putting a 100 gb card into your 10 mega-pixel camera and shooting all RAW. Kinda nice not having to swap out in the middle of an event you're trying to capture.

Heck, if they can get the read/write speeds up high enough, that would be a nice storage option for digital video cameras.

Maybe consider a Sony PSP with 100 GB HDD. All features normal to PDA (aside from input), multimedia, internet, speakers built in, and a beautiful screen on which to watch.
