6/10    Anybody would like to predict when I'll be able to buy a device that
        has the following functionalities (all in one device).  This is stuff
        I need for business on a daily basis.  Having to carry 5-6 gadgets is
        getting quite ridiculous.
        * cell phone
        * address book and notes that can be backed up onto a PC
        * FM/AM radio (no mechanical frequency changer, but digital tuning)
        * digital recorder that can record from microphone, phone
          conversation, or from the radio.  Must be able to download the voice
          recording onto a PC.  And upload conversations onto device for
          playback.
        * upload MP3s onto the device.
        * integrated GPS and navigation
        * basic internet that can receive email and fax.  Doesn't need
          fancy web browsing.  But need something like yahoo's directory
          listings that is tied in with GPS.  E.g., ability to tell the
          device to give me a list of gas stations within 1 mile radius of
          where I am. And display them in a map relative to where I am.
        * color screen at least 3x3 inches.
        * And the most important feature: batteries that last for 1 week
          with active use.
        Yes, I'm asking a lot.  We will get there. But when?  Predictions?
        \_ I suspect that some of the high end Sony CLIE models may do what
           you want.  See also the Palm Tungsten T (don't know if it's out
           yet).
        \_ Everything except the battery within 2 years.  Oh, I just
           noticed that you did not specify a size requirement.  In that
           case, the device already exists.
        \_ You actually *need* and/or *use* mp3s and AM/FM radio for your work?
           Are they hiring?  I want to slack off and get paid, too!
           \_ answer the fucking question.
