Where's My All-In-One Device?

from the it's-in-the-store... dept

News.com has a column talking about why we don't have all-in-one mobile devices. She says that companies keep announcing them, but they're only launching in Europe. This isn't exactly true - of course. The Treo seems pretty close to an all in one. And, there are a bunch of other very similar devices that are coming out very soon. I think this is just typical "get the hype" going, that most tech companies use. Announce a product way before it's ready, get the interest meter running, and then finally release it.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team
