One device

There are three parts to this dream:
(1) I want one device.
(2) I want one connectivity.
(3) I want one HUB.

(1) I want one device. It should make calls and get emails and send and receive texts and show movies and play music and do the Internet and provide maps and directions and give weather and share flight times and locate hotels and restaurants and stream music and show documents and edit documents and save document and check bank accounts and transfer money and win auctions and display books and read books aloud and take pictures and take videos and recharge via solar power and geocache and 2-way radio and video-teleconference and on and on and on.

This won't replace my computer. I know...and there's more to say about this...later. **

(2) I want one connectivity [sic]. Television cable, internet cable, internet wireless, satellite, cell phone, house phone, work phone, work wireless and wired networks, work wired telephone, work cell phone, coffee shop and train wireless--all are connectivity points for data. Not to mention the miniature "hot spots" that people carry around with them.

At all of the vendors of these services I want to shout: "STOP IT!" And--figure it out. Charge me ONCE for connectivity, period. It's all data. It's all data.

"Yeah, but you don't understand the technical incompatibilities among Bluetooth and 802.11 and TCP/IP and DSL and HTML and AMPS and CDMI and AMPS and TDMA and POTS and Wi-Fi and SSL and TLAs and blah blah blah blah blah..."

I don't care.
It's all data.
Make it work.
Everyone will buy it.
You'll be rich.
I promise.

**(3) I want one HUB. I don't have a clear vision for this wish list, so I'll work on it a bit longer and post it when I'm ready.
