Palm LifeDrive.

when i first heard the rumors of the Palm LifeDrive it sounded pretty cool. like something i might even want. seeing as i do indeed want a PDA-esque device.



but the more i got to thinking about it... the more i realized that as cool as the LifeDrive was... it still didn't have the functionality to replace anything. it would just be another gadget to carry around. it can't replace my phone... cause it can't make calls. it can't replace my camera... because it doesn't have even a shitty snap-shot quality camera built-in. it could replace my iPod i suppose. but i don't honestly carry it around that much anyway... it's mostly a car and office use iPod.

it could at most replace needing my laptop with me some times.

so that combined with reading the excellent Brighthand review... i think i finally decided against it for good. i think.

i swear... someone needs to put me in charge of inventing a convergence PDA/Phone/Camera thingio. i mean seriously. (and if not me ... then any of the gajillions of people who probably agree with me.)
