    oh look, it's another american troll who thinks that mobile phones should only be allowed to make phone calls.

    I want a device that is my phone, my portable music player, my quick-shot camera, and my palm pilot. That doesn't sound like too much to ask of one device, especially with so much shared resources (dsp, memory, screen).
