Mobile device convergence is not nirvana

As evidenced by a piece highlighted at Slashdot, many consumers are eschewing the all singing, all dancing mobile device in favour for something that does a simple job and does it well.

I can only concur with these findings.

I'm in the market for a mobile phone at the moment - my T68i, purchased almost as soon as they came out, is just beginning to get a little long in the tooth. Four years is a long time in technology, and particularly for mobile phones, but I haven't upgraded it because I don't need to.
