I think you are right about one thing,To achieve the perfect device, if at all possible, will have to come from a company that has enough finaces to develop something that most people would like. I don't believe that it will be at all possible to have something that everyone would be happy with.
As for how timely Microsoft may be with developing something that may do this, we may have to wait and see how popular the X-Box is to see if they get more brave about joing other markets and the other ones that they have joined may need to rise in market share.
