I want a cell phone with a camera and a planner and a mp3 and a…

Tigerlily23 brings up many topics for discussion in her articles about movies on Cell phones. I want to take it into a new direction. Cell phones are starting to offer more and more features: cameras, planners, mp3 players, etc. However these Swiss army devices are thought of as phones with other features. Mainly because these secondary features do not measure up in quality to devices that specialize in these features. For example the 1 mega pixel cameras in cell phones do not come anywhere close to the 3-8 mega pixel that are on the market, and I don’t think a cell phone could ever complete with Apple’s Ipod. The reason I feel this way is not because of technological reasons but for business reasons. If Apple wanted to they could partner up with a cell phone manufacturer to produce a great cell phone / mp3, but what would be Apple’s motivation all this would do is a cannibalize Ipod sales. I think that this ultimately hurts the consumer because I would rather have a cell phone/Ipod/camera in my pocket as opposed to all three separately. I searched for articles about this on the net, but couldn’t find what I was looking for. What do you think? Are there reasons for firms to collaborate? What would be the long term implications for the industry? Have you seen any articles about this on the web?

Mimobots are just the beginning…

Yesterday, Supriya was talking about the Mimobots explaining:

Mimobots are little friendly data fiends! Feed the 2″ monsters all your essential data (tunes, pics, presentations, videos, etc.) and transport your files wherever you go. mimobots are what happens when designer toys meet USB flash drives - a marriage of art and technology.

hat is just the tip of the ice berg for wacky USB devices. Check out this site. It has The Top 10 Weirdest USB drivers ever. Highlights include USB drives shaped like: a duck, sushi, a human thumb, and a Barbie. If everyone is going to have a USB drive it might as well be more personalized.

Matt’s Wish List

As I spoke about in my USB in my Car Blog, I love gadgets and buying them. I’m sure many of you feel the same as I do. Therefore on my del.icio.us site I have a special category called WishList. I would encourage all of you to create similar categorizes. It is a great way to look at gadgets or other items you want to buy while you are “doing work”. Plus I fully intend to send a link to my parents especially when the holiday season approaches.
