You could also argue that the future is also greater integrated storage. In this regard PalmOne is taking the initiative with devices like the Lifedrive. Unfortunately, these 1st gen Lifedrives imo have HD capacities that are too small. The first LD prototypes had 5 GB HD's but Palmone had to switch to the 4 GB micro-HD b/c of performance concerns. It is quite conceivable that the next gen LD's will have 10-20 GB HD capacities (hopefully also running cobalt) that will make them worthy alternatives to ipods etc for mobile storage mediums...
