Dream Gadget: iPhone with Laptop

What a user need a combination of cell phone and a laptop, isn't it? Both the toys have their significance and equally needed throughout a day and night. If we can ever design one consolidated master piece of technology that would be awesome. Don't you think so? Would look like a dream come true to make turtles dance again. One don't need to carry two gadgets, carrying cases, multiple adapters, back up of varied kind to data flying in between iPhone and Laptops, worrying to expand the memory of one anther. We will be free from multiple downloads of utilities that can consolidate our data and connect to outlook, digital camera, video streaming, Internet Explorer, integration with multi platforms of handle held technologies. Can you imagine iPhone with an Intel chip in it advanced USB port that can take any kind of plug in for any device and could suggest a suitable download to connect to that device using Google's advanced search engine capabilities leading to the Web 3.0

One often gets these technology shivers, but the reality breaks the ice on a different tangent. And, start building our needs around it. Sometimes, I get confused who is driving, are these our emerging needs or the technology derived from someone's crap making us follow a newly invented route that could make all of our existence obsolete in due course of time.

In this cat and mouse play, when we look back it feels like we have come a long a way. But, when you see ahead it seems a longway to go..
