New Nokia cellphone to challenge MP3 players!
Jake pretty much hit the nail on the head when he stated that MP3 players would eventually disappear and merge with portable phones. Makes total sense – it's the same reason why I “had” to go with a Pocket PC Phone instead of two separate devices. Invariably, I would leave my non-phone Pocket PC at home and take the other device with me. I'm getting ready to chuck the Pocket PC phone, however, because Pocket Outlook (much like its newer desktop cousin) is replete with bugs.
A SmartPhone (Scoblephone?) is a great portable device, but I love having a PDA with the larger screen / form factor, admittedly. I'm looking forward to the Samsung i730, too – but may forego it altogether if I can't find a better Pocket PC email (IMAP) application. I love Nokia phones, but I'm never going to carry a phone that doesn't easily sync with Outlook contacts (been there, done that).
