The Ultimate Portable Device

No, I’m not referring to a Port-a-potty, although that’s pretty essential too in some circumstances. I’m referring to the Nokia N-93, coming out later this month.

All my life (well for the past few years) I have been waiting for the ultimate handheld portable device. It has to be a PDA, cell phone, camera, game machine, and MP3 player. Those were my five basic requirements. Lately I have added WiFi support as a must, and at least a 320×240 screen. The PSP has served me well, but it is too bulky and is far from the ultimate device.

Now finally, it’s almost here. The Nokia N-93 looks to fit the bill. Check out these specs:

  • GSM cell phone
  • 3.2MPixel camera with optical zoom
  • VGA Digital camcorder
  • PDA functionality
  • Java games
  • WiFi 802.11g
  • TV-out
  • 320×240 screen
  • USB 2.0
  • Uses miniSD card

What else can you ask for? Sure it’s a bit big, but with all those ass-kicking features, that’s a small price to pay.
