Chances you'll pay more because Sony usually has the coolest products. I'm not a fan of proprietary memory, but sometimes the Sony products are just too compelling to pass up.
has: - MP3 - Expandable storage - Color - keyboard - Cellphone - some type of belt clip/holster - flat rate for internet service - OS: Palm or WinCE. Most would probably prefer Palm - Nice to have webcam
One could pair the new Sony TG50 with the Sony T68i cell phone [free with rebates] with built in bluetooth. However, the limited factor here is T-Mobile doesn't offer a flat rate for internet service. Personally, I don't want to be constantly worried about going over my usage limit.
Or you can wait for the new Hitachi, but the size is pretty big and who knows how much the service plans would cost. If through Sprint and they have a similar rate as the Treo 300; very promising! As long as you can get over WinCE
There is also the Sidekick which I almost bought. Thankfully I decided to swing by compusa first to take a gander at the size. The thing is a brick! What is really cool is that you get unlimited internet access for the first year and you can do some cool hip logging which also includes support for sending small pictures. Very inticing, but the product is just way to big, is grayscale and seems to have some serious bugs as a cell phone [doesn't ring!]
My plan was to wait and wait for this magical all in one device. However, I need a cell phone and I finally bit the bullet and got a Treo 300 It lacks expandability so I could never use it as a mp3 player, but it will suffice until the next series of Treos are introduced. With the unlimited flat rate for internet access how could I go wrong? Not to mention you can use it as a wireless modem
I think the cell phone/pda market is definately going in the right direction and I hope by the end of the year, there will be quite a few products out there that I can label as an "ultimate pda".
One small note. The Palm Tungsten W will include many of these features, but in order to use it as a cell phone, you must plug in the headset. This is just retarded. Imagine getting a phone call and having to fish around to plug in your headset?
Lets just hope that the new Treo's are build on PalmOS 5.x and will include expansion [mp3!] Shortly there after, you should see my Treo on ebay for a good price.
I just ran a wire from my home stereo to my linux box and then wrote a simple web interface to madplay which I control through my Audrey that sits in the kitchen.
I wouldn't even call a War with Iraq a War since it's only going to last a week or two.
Seriously though, there have been some advances and research because of the coming war. For example, this post I don't think they would have gotten the grant if we weren't committed to a war [or 2] in the sandy mideast.
.. only under great circumstances do any modern marvels come to full attrition. Unless there is an actual need, be it military or economic, this project will never "take off the ground"
Basically, it would take some sort of War or space race with China for this to even be the slightest possiblity. Tax payers will not vote for a 17 billion dollar project unless it was under dire circumstances or felt threatened [alla China]
Think about all the previous advances in the human culture. So many were spawned from war. For instance, I doubt the common 747 jet airliner would be such a popular mode of transportation today if the Nazi's weren't looking for a plane that could run circles around the allied air force.
This post is going off in a tangent. I guess what I'm trying to say is that with war comes advancement in technology. Without war, technology is backed by monetary gain. What is to gain by building a space elevator? Unless they can mine diamonds or gold from the upper atmosphere...
How about a C&C game where you play French troops and the trick is to pull down your pants and surrender before being attacked?
Then you have to make believe you are part of the new government's regime, but secretly waiting for the Americans to free you from a psychotic dictator, where you dance in the street and throw croissants high up into the smokey sky.
Many years later you drag your feet and protest the invasion of a country, which also is struggling by the a ruthless dictator since 1979. Of course, the trick is to not lose your NATO alliance while at the same time not pissing off any terrorists so that your country will be safe to sip wine and eat cheese.

My ideal PDA has: - color screen - keyboard - PocketPC [Note that I need PocketPC to do terminal services support against our servers for work. Since work will be paying for it, it's a requirement of my own. Big fan of Palm, but unforunately our FW software only comes with a WinCe version - Expansion slot - MP3 Player - High Speed internet access - Phone of course - Belt clip
As a bonus, it even comes with a digital camera. It may be a little bulky, but I'll save space by having a PDA, Cellphone and MP3 player all in one device. I can't wait!

It works great for me. Some little bugs, but I'm very happy with it.
I will say that the hack is cool though. Good work.
