Cellphones with hard drives

We really only want one simple thing: a cellphone with a massive hard drive in it so we can reduce the number of gadgets we have to carry around by one (goodbye, iPod!). It might be a long wait,
because even though hard drives are finally small enough now to fit into cellphones, but it's gonna be a while still before you can buy a phone with 4GB on it that can double as your iPod mini. You'd think that price would be the biggest hurdle, but actually the main obstacles right now are making sure that the mini-drives are tough enough to deal with the daily abuse people dish out (most people tend to be a lot more careful with their iPod than their cellphone) and that they also don't consume so much power that they kill your phone's battery. Oh, no matter what the Japanese will get them years before we do.
