I hate the 1-single device idea. I will resist to the last day to adopt it. I live in a city where cell phones are stolen at the same rate as bananas are picked by monkeys in Congo. No matter if you are poor or rich, owns a cutting edge smartphone or a $15 one you bought at a newsstand, someday you will get it stolen. My legal manager got so many phones stolen in the past years that she lost count them. Her wild guess is they were more than 20. All cheap ones, because after you loose the first couple of good ones you are forced to adapt. As the storage capacity of those phone increase, I think we will be motivated to keep more things in it. In case you have it stolen, damage is done. Yes, you can still sync it to some other backup desktop PC, to your media center in your living room, or even to the "cloud". But imagine effort involved to restore those GBs of data every time you lose your phone. It is not only material damage, but time/effort damage as well. I currently use Prey on my Android, so at least I could block the phone and force the other guy to hard reset it. I'm protecting my privacy but not relieving the time/effort issue, nor the material one. What I REALLY would like to see on a new "built-from-bottom-to-top" device is a "brick token", a string of characters I could dictate to the carrier agent on the phone 1 minute after my phone was stolen and that alone would turn the device into a brick for good. Something at the lowest architectural level... like spilling acid on top of the main board. That would really change robbers crime lives, and bring tranquility to us consumers. Until something like this is in place, I'll be glad to have my PC and phone being two different things.
