Advantages: A PDA and sat nav system in one Disadvantages: Looks cheap and tacky
...I am a grat believer in less is more. I can't see the point in carrying around several different appliances when only one is required.
The main problem with this attitude is that although you can get everything you want all in one package, the overall quality of the finished products is generally inferior to the quality of individual units.
Take the Mitac Mio. I like PDAs - they combine a media player (to play both MP3's and JPEG video), personal organiser, a gaming machine and several other items all in one. However, the sound quality of a PDA is not up to that of an Ipod. The video quality of a PDA is not up to that of a portable DVD player. Point made?
That said, if you are on a train it is awkward to carry an Ipod, portable DVD player, personal organiser etc etc. It is all about compromise and whilst the PDA quality...

Nurofen Plus is the strongest pain killer that is currently available over the counter without a prescription (or gun!).
I only learnt of its existence when I had the mother of all headaches a few weeks ago. I went on a quest to buy co-codomol; yet... more
I’ll be honest from the start and that is I’m a Psion man through and through. I owned a series 3c back in the day, I had a 5mx (Ericsson MC 218) until I got drunk and dropped it. Rather than replace that I thought I’d just go for a Revo Plus as it... more
I recently purchased the Samsung R60 laptop from laptops direct for £329.99 excluding postage and packaging. I chose this laptop because of the processor speed and the size of the screen. I think that this laptop meets the compromise between price and... more
