Every other weekend, I make a 7 hour round trip across 3 states. For that trip, I carry my iPod Touch, my Droid X and a laptop. As I sit here in a rest area, tethering my laptop over my Droid’s 3G, it makes me wonder why I still have to carry three devices on any given trip. Weren’t we promised a world where we could do it all on one? I seem to remember that being the talk coming out of many mouths only a few short years ago. And yet, even as technology has shifted gears toward being more mobile, no single device gets the job done the way that it should. I still can’t stand the music player on my Android, my laptop doesn’t have enough battery life and an iPad simply doesn’t cut it for full-fledged work. So what’s missing?
