After having received my first phone that actually has more memory than that of an Alzheimer's patient or an JRPG protagonist, I've been plunged into the world of multimedia on my cell phone. I'm now able to use my phone as more than just a phone: a radio, a music player, and also a poor man's PSP just in case the MRT overshoots the last stop and the waiting lines upstairs happen to be longer than I expect to be.

Which leads us to one realization:

The lines between different kinds of devices are getting blurrer, which is an odd choice of words because now your cellphone happens to at least have a 2.0 mega pixel camera built into it, and there's really no excuse for that kind of resolution.

It turns out that most electronic devices these days no longer have one purpose, they simply excel more in one than they do the other. This means that one day, the possiblity of an ultimate device which fares equally well in all aspects could very well be in the palm of your hand soon, or in your cerebral cortex, depending on whether the biologists have been going heavy on the coffee or not.

Comments on the tagboard, please.
