The next generation of handheld game gadgets promises the ability to let you to watch movies, listen to music, make phone calls, take pictures, browse the Net and send wireless messages. Sounds cool but I never bought in to the all-in-one gadget concept. The ability to play games on my phone goes unappreciated - it's just a phone to me. Maybe the right gadget has yet to come along...
