I was just thinking. Which is a rareity. Instead of making portable divices for individual tasks, why not make one that does everything? I know that it will probably be like a brick at first, but (like most new technologies) it will probably shrink with development. Take mobile phones for example.
Modern day millionaire entrepreneurs with big shiny sports cars are carrying around brief cases with laptops, PDA's phones, loadsa gadgets. If there's one thing I really hate, it's having my pockets full of mobile phones and wallets when I'm out and about.
What I'm thinking of is a sort of GameBoy Advance with the power of an Xbox, the ability to connect wirelessly to a normal ISP through the real internet, not WAP (crap). It should also be a PDA, with databases and word processing features for the execs, plus the ability to store a hefty amount of mp3 files.
If somebody did develop a device of this proportions, just imagine the possibilities! You could play Halo on it over the net whilst in school! It would double as an mp3 player, so you could put all your favourite tracks on it.
I know, I know, it's a stupid idea. It would cost loads. Oh well.

isn't all this happening? WAP and iMODE on moblies (iMODE being supported by Namco, Sega and the likes has some great downloadable games in Japan, including Pac Man and some sonic spin offs).
Anyway, wouldn't it be cool if we had something that would be a laptop, console, phone, sink, fridge, microwave, house and pet... all in one!

You measure screen size in time? How strange.
