Great video! Looks to me like Android and the swiss army knife model is taking the market by storm.

The "swiss army knife" model of trying to pack too much in too small a platform IMHO. At a certain point, some tools become too small (Derek Zoolander's cell phone) Netbooks and tablets will have their place in the future, and so will the smart phone. I don't think the one device idea will be the future (ever seen a two inch thick swiss army knife?) My eyes and fingers like a decent sized keyboard and screen. Only time will tell.

I remember the same was said about smartphones when PDAs where all the rage. When was the last time you saw a PDA? Soon, the same will be said for dedicated media players, and it is almost impossible to find a plain vanilla cell phone these days. As the tech becomes more capable, more capabilities will be built into it as demand (or strong marketing departments) dictate.
