Yes I agree, not everybody, but the majority of people who ride around downtown Toronto who have MTBs didn't buy them because they needed them. Studded tires and full shocks? Granted, the road conditions in Toronto at times are bad, but not THAT bad:)
They ARE that bad here in Montreal. That said I have a "cross-trekking", which is the mtb-side of the cyclo-cross stuff - road-style frame with mtb
components, including large clearance brakes.
And way cheaper. But I admit that this bike ain't for anything except those rough-ish trails you mention.
They actually are out there - check out the Sony Ericsson T600, (which is probably approaching end-of-line). It's small, light and its most recent feature is WAP. I've seen it for $CDN160, unlocked.
I'd really like to see something that was modular in that I could throw an ipod into my bag, or throw the cell unit into my bag, and use my headphones and watch as ears and eyes. And upgrade it when the next shiznit comes out.

I wonder if you could buy the Librie, buy the gumstix, and Voila! $3k dev kit!
Bravo to the gumstix boys for making it in the kit!
And it will probably be a while before its an early 90s buzzward again.
If we all buy Microsoft email servers it will be a standard, won't it.
Yeah, but YOU can, and what's the fun in that!?
No, Romero's, not Alzheimers. Even if Alzheimer COULD find his car, it's not a Ferrari. It must be Romero's.
My first computer was a brother. To repartition you dropped a rock on him from a cliff.
Let me restate what he said,
Someday all errors will be made by machines. We'll just sit back while they do all the work. Then, no more human error.
