i hate "meh" cant you think of anything witty !!!
have a old nokia phone that works perfectly fine as a phone... I also have a most excellent Nikon DSLR camera to take photos on, I also have very expensive Naim audio hi fi separates with a nice set of warfdale diamond pro II speakers....
Except for the camera, most of my electronic gadgets are packed away in the basement...
i replaced my creative mp3 player, compact digital camera, electonic organiser, diary with my shiny new smartphone !!!
why? because i needed one of those stupid hunting style waistcoats to pack everything in. I did even consider a "manbag" for a whole 30 seconds and thought, no... no way. its not happening...
My camera phone is good enough for quick snaps of nonsense or a few seconds of video...If i want high quality pics, I get my nikon out. (i spit on your canon!!!)
Most of my music listening is done while working at my pc now.... handled quite well by a old set of creative 2.1 speakers... I no longer peruse the absolute perfection i used to require when i used to spend my hard earned cash on Naim power supplies, pre-amps power amps never mind £10 per metre cables for speakers... sat with speakers on needle stands at ear hight and half the distance apart as i was as far back..... no, i don’t need that any more !!! if i am away from home and on a train, my phone performs perfectly well in playback of music... maybe not as good as some dedicated mp3 players but hey, that’s one less device in my pocket and one less charger in my bag...
same as my phone is not as convenient as my desktop pc for email, but it works....
My point is yeah, separate items may be better than a all in one device, but its a trade off for connivance...
i go to KFC for fried chicken, i don’t want to hatch a egg, feed the chick on specially selected chicken feed. grow it to a suitable size, chop its head off, pluck it, clean it. select some suitable herbs and spices to coat the fillet in, make some bread rolls, grow a lettuce, make some mayo form the eggs the chicken laid, cook it, serve it...
mines the one with not much in the pockets
