It's funny to have been on the front end of the rapid consolidation of devices only to see the tail end of it when we distribute them again.
I remember, back in like 2005, camera phones and media phones were starting to properly come out, and I didn't want it. I had a cell phone and an mp3 player and a digital camera, and I kinda liked it that way.
I mean it's definitely pretty phenomenal. I actually still have an 80 gig iPod from back in the day. It is a superior music player.
But I just can't see myself carrying that around and my phone. Nowadays, most of the music that I listen to is Pandora or YouTube music.
I have a mp3 collection on my phone but it's very curated.
I miss my Palm and Ipaq...
I had a palm centro and it was the coolest phone in my highschool. I had a non-phone palm device before that too, as a hand-me-down. It had the writing system for text input which was really cool. I loved those Palm devices.
