Topic: The Mobile device dilemma

Is anyone using a netbook with 1024x600 resolution? How does it cope with web browsing?

My netbook uses 1024x600. It works well enough for browsing, but I keep my Firefox install pretty well stripped down.

So the Atrix dock is $300.  Forget that; you could buy a more powerful netbook for that price.

Well that balloon has just been deflated.

If they had said half of that price, then it would seem reasonable, but no way at $300.

I didn't see the point of the Laptop dock anyway. Most everyone has a laptop. If you need one, just lug that one around. Just because it is lighter doesn't make anymore useful.

The holy grail is going to be when somebody can combine a comfortable screen size with a device that fits in your pocket.

We'd all need bigger pockets for that.

A phone the size of my DroidX that flips open to reveal a miniature iPad/Tablet on the inside made possible because of a 6" folding touch screen (OLED tech right?).

Only problem would be battery life & thickness on such a device.

I'm thinking that a PSP2 and a 3DS might solve my personal mobile device dilemma.

I'm hoping the PSPhone, or Xperia Play, fails, and Sony just puts calling features in a firmware update for the PSP2, either that or some 3rd party.

And hopefully there's a lot of 3D video support for the 3DS.

We'd need foldable screens...which isn't that far away.
