    Yo dawg, I heard you like phones, so I put a phone with your phone, so you can use a phone while you use your phone.

    Why stop there? Have a separate camera, a separate music player too. What a wonderful future that will be where instead of one device capable of doing lots of things we have lots of individual devices dedicated to a single purpose.

    "Excuse me, I'm receiving a FAX."

    Yeah, it'd be much easier to call them "tracking device with facial recognition, vocal recognition, finger print recognition, your bank info, GPS, and has a "phone" included". Good point.
