I would rather have it all in one device. Isn't this the argument people made against smart phones? "Oh I already have a phone and an mp3 player and a laptop, why would I want this iPhone?" It's much nicer to have everything in one device than several little niche devices. This device doesn't even do typing well, like I said in my first post, it's a pain in the ass to type anything longer than a text message length email. Reviews say that if you want to do anything other than that with it, then you should probably buy the dock. Wow, not only is a niche device but its claims of being super portable for on the go use only holds true if you don't plan on using it as a productivity tool. I'll pass, thanks.

Someone can't be a technophile and not want a product from a company that is insistent on dumbing down technology to the level of reality TV shows?
