I was thinking about what I'd want in my pocket -- the ideal device that would eliminate the need to carry more than one piece of hardware, and would eliminate the need for more than one charger. It should:
- play music, especially mp3s
- display photos
- play movies (full length!)
- have both a headphones port and a small speaker (high sound quality not required)
- have WiFi
- have Bluetooth
- be a phone and text-messaging device
- if possible, have a physical keyboard -- nice but I can live with a good touchscreen keyboard, like the iPod's
- have internet access without necessarily having WiFi, like a smartphone
- have as much memory as possible -- minimum 80 GB of storage
- have a large screen
- have a reliable battery with a long life
- a good internet browser, not the POS browser on most mobile devices
- a good email program
- a calendar that syncs with iCal for the Mac, and a contacts program that syncs with Address Book
- UpToDate, a program I use for work (it's available on the internet but would be more reliable as a stand-alone program)
- a quick, easy way to find and load new programs on it
- a good way to read e-books, and an easy-to-download way to get them
- an easy-to-use interface and operating system
Not asking for much, am I?
