Re: Revolutionizing Mobile Phones
There have been combination cellphone/PDA/mp3players/pocket-PCs out for a while now

and they have all tanked on the market

I think its very arrogant of Bill Gates & Co to think the reason they tanked is the OS

Real engineers know about trade-offs. When you make a kitchen sink gadget you give up small size, low power, light weight, and most of all: ease of use.

I predict the concept will continue to tank in the marketplace, no matter what OS its running.

I want my cell phone to be as small as possible, it should fit in my pants pocket easily, and it should be waterproof. All I need to see on its display is a phone number, and I want it to last several days without charging.

but I want my PDA to have a big color screen - 640x480 resolution would be nice

I want my multi media player to plug into (or come with) video eyewear that looks like a pair of glasses, but gives a virtual image that looks like a 72" screen, and I want it to have studio quality sound.
