This is the dilemma facing a mobile devices loving geeks such as myself. As the number of doodads and gizmos I want to have handy at all times grows, I feel the strong desire to munge them together into one uber-device. There are others however who argue against such a device saying it would be jack of all trades and master of none – not to mention expensive. Excluding the craziness of being locked in to a cell service provider, I'm pretty sure I would be willing to live with any trade-offs in my quest for 'one device to rule them all'.
An example of such a convergence device would be: A pocketPC with tri-band phone, 4" Vga screen, wifi, Bluetooth, integrated 1.3Mb camera, 4G hard drive (for mp3s), GPS, dual card slots, fast processor, 128Mb RAM, a slide out thumb board and some bluetooth headphones. Of course no such device exists today.
On the other end of the spectrum someone could achieve this level of mobile functionality by carrying around a PocketPC, a snap-on thumboard, a Bluetooth enabled Cell phone, a mini-ipod, wired head phones, a hand held GPS, and a digital camera. You would need a bat belt to carry them all. Of course real mobile die-hards use a ScotteVest. I'm not sure I'm man-nerd enough to attract this kind of attention.

Your thoughts?
