    Until phones and ipod style mp3 players converged. I'm still waiting for the model that includes the kitchen sink.

      Ah, but this isn't the case - the 3gb hard drive is just there to hold even longer, more annoying ring tones. The factory default will use bluetooth to sense when the owner is nowhere near the phone and then launch into a 4-hour midi retrospective of Nelly: the early years.

      Details to follow...

      In a press conference, RIAA CEO Mitch Bainwol identified Samsung's new 500Mhz phone as "equivalent to 10 50MHz phones".

      "Clearly, Samsung is aiding pirates by providing them with the tools necessary to violate our copyrights. You might not think that a slow and dodgy cellphone can be used for piracy, but with today's technologies ... hey, all it takes is a couple of dedicated hackers to pull this off. And with a 500Mhz processor, well, it's pretty clear that this is an act of war against IP holders everywhere."

    A member of the OSS community has hacked them to run linux.

    However, due to difficulties in porting the kernel over some features are a bit lackluster. So the camera no longer functions, the mp3 player performance is somewhat slow, no contact information can be saved, and you can no longer receive calls or dial out.

    On the bright side they never crash, and you've never seen pong like this before!

    I've got a bad case of mobile technolust... someone please help :)

    Maybe it'll help if you realize that eventually the succesor to the B-Bop will be the MBop. And all the ringtones will be other Hanson songs.

    I read through all the features and it never mentioned we can call and communicate with these devices. There was alot of other neat things though! (suppose to be funny, sorry if it isn't)

    it had a moulded-rubber case which could resist falling down the toilet or whatever - but I'm not sure what happened to it.

    hate taking my mp3 player, cellphone, pda, and ocasionaly camera with me. The first 3 i cant leave the house with.
    I presume you meant 'without', given the rest of the post.

    I can see needing a cellphone, if you have an always-on-call job or something, but seriously, are you incapable of leaving your music to pop down to the store? Do you really need a PDA everywhere you go? There's this wonderful invention, only been around for 2 or 3 millenia, called paper. You can jot a note, a list for the store, readable in direct sunlight, lasts on one charge for 50-100 years.
