Not at all the same argument. I think he was dead on re: the complaints people make about devices like this. Asking for separate devices to do these things is like having one computer for email, one for the internet, one for viewing documents, one for... and so on.


Your argument is valid that these tasks are suitable for one device. However when you really want to have quality on any task you need a device designed to do that task best. Phone, GPS and music replay are fairly diverse functions. I don’t think there will ever be a product that does all these things better than the top of the line device designed specifically for just one of these functions. For example: the iPhone does not have the storage, eases of use or probably audio quality of the top of the line iPod.

For the average person this may be OK. Just as the average PC suites most people for gaming, graphics or word processing. However I like quality (when I can afford it). That’s why I have an Empeg .
