There’s a really interesting blog by Wade Roush on the Technology Review site today. The entry concerns a Wall Street Journal article speculating that cell phones will eventually take over the portable music market. I haven’t read the WSJ piece yet, but the argument seems to be that cell phones are the killer apps that will become the convergence sites for all portable media applications. Roush’s piece is a persuasive rejoinder, especially for its reminders of how difficult (and perhaps counterproductive) it will be to achieve that kind of convergence in any one portable device. Looks like I should keep my utility belt handy for the foreseeable future.

It is inveitable. I’ve been using the MP3 player on my PocketPC Phone for more than two years now. It is bulky but it’s great because I despise the idea of carrying around multiple devices (PDA, MP3 Player, Phone, etc). If it were more podcast friendly, then it’d be freakin’ awesome. Later this year, I’m going to get one the latest units and maybe use Skype over WiFi … I might investigate a Palm Phone first tho’ … they are a little smaller.
Cheers ….
