Seems to me the mobile companies are beggining to hit the buffers. A phone is a phone. You talk or text. There is a mad rush towards muti-functionality in just about every digital device. An i-Pod scores because it stores and plays music. Design it to also make a cup of coffee, or blow-dry your hair, and it loses it's identity. You end up with a device that becomes far too complex to use. How many people still cannot program a video/DVD recorder?
