Touchscreens mean there are no dedicated buttons you have to code around (ie, a calculate cant serve most functions even if you could reprogram because its button interface sucks) Buttons (ahem, screen real estate) can be placed anywhere, with any size, and any look.

Give it proper connections and a small expansion port. WiFi, 3g, Edge, MiFi, Bluetooth, RF, 3.5mm stereo port, USB port and your set. You know have a device that can (currently) talk to many networks, can be programed to do pretty much anything (from check facebook, to watch mobile tv, to detect poisonous gasses with a USB addon. http://www.nasa.gov/centers/ames/news/features/2009/cell_phone_sensors.html)

What are all these companies coming out with dedicated devices? Their purpose should remain static! My TomTom GPS could have been a PMP as well as GPS if it designed to allow the code (it has been hacked to do just that. Thank you linux!). So why are we limiting the potential of all these devices and saying they can only be used for one thing. Designing something like this, and only letting it work for mobile TV will be looked upon as a horridly idiotic move by the next generation. This is why things like the Pre, Zune HD, and iPhone are popular. They can carry as many purposes as you can code for them. They are adaptable, and you no longer have to have 10 devices for 10 tasks just because, even though the hardware supports, companies are to big-headed to allow room for expansion.

In a handful of years we will have one device that will be used for phone calls, mobile tv, internet, streaming to our tv's, analyzing sodium content in our ground, checking voltages, and anything else someone somewhere might need. It will bloody be like startrek.

So yeah. Sorry bout my rant, but I felt the need after seeing another software dedicated device that limits its potential. ]]>Nov 13th 2009 11:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/13/flo-tv-personal-television-now-on-sale-for-250-should-be-in-ce/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/13/flo-tv-personal-television-now-on-sale-for-250-should-be-in-ce/Nov 13th 2009 11:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/13/flo-tv-personal-television-now-on-sale-for-250-should-be-in-ce/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/13/flo-tv-personal-television-now-on-sale-for-250-should-be-in-ce/Nov 13th 2009 4:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/13/flo-tv-personal-television-now-on-sale-for-250-should-be-in-ce/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/13/flo-tv-personal-television-now-on-sale-for-250-should-be-in-ce/

The quality of the image is pretty absymal, or maybe it was just the channels I was playing with. Either way, maybe useful for a very small number of people, but I have not seen any proof it can hold a signal while in a moving vehicle, and that kills its potential for replacing a portable DVD player or a PMP.]]>Nov 13th 2009 2:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/13/flo-tv-personal-television-now-on-sale-for-250-should-be-in-ce/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/13/flo-tv-personal-television-now-on-sale-for-250-should-be-in-ce/Nov 13th 2009 4:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/13/flo-tv-personal-television-now-on-sale-for-250-should-be-in-ce/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/13/flo-tv-personal-television-now-on-sale-for-250-should-be-in-ce/Nov 13th 2009 6:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/13/flo-tv-personal-television-now-on-sale-for-250-should-be-in-ce/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/13/flo-tv-personal-television-now-on-sale-for-250-should-be-in-ce/Nov 13th 2009 8:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/13/flo-tv-personal-television-now-on-sale-for-250-should-be-in-ce/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/13/flo-tv-personal-television-now-on-sale-for-250-should-be-in-ce/Nov 13th 2009 9:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/13/flo-tv-personal-television-now-on-sale-for-250-should-be-in-ce/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/13/flo-tv-personal-television-now-on-sale-for-250-should-be-in-ce/Nov 14th 2009 9:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/13/flo-tv-personal-television-now-on-sale-for-250-should-be-in-ce/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/13/flo-tv-personal-television-now-on-sale-for-250-should-be-in-ce/
