Well yes, that's one thing. What I really wish is that someone would
invent a phone with a baby phone that sort of docks onto it, so that you
could either take the big one out for internet and camera etc, and then
if you were going out for the evening or whatever, and travelling light,
then you'd take the little one. Is anyone anywhere near this?

This has been patented - or, at least, the patent has been applied for -
but I've not heard of any real products from the patent. My google-fu is
weak right now, so I can't find it - I think it was on Engadget.

Personally - and I've been thinking about this because I want it too - I
think a more likely solution is similar to Palm's Foleo, only in the
other direction. The Foleo was a mini laptop-style device that
apparently stayed in sync with your Treo; to me, it would make more
sense to have a synced device that was *smaller*. Get a big chunky
do-it-all phone like a Treo, N95, whatever, and then a small, cut-down
phone that just made calls and texts, had an phone book and calendar,
and that's it. Nice and slim, and if you get new texts or add new
numbers during the night it syncs up with the big and beefy when you get
home.

This is a great idea. Stuff could be all dinky and matching, like
mini-me's and kittens etc. I have an image of the space shuttle on top
of a plane, docking cutely.

I am suffering from SNGAGD - Sunday Night Geek And Gadget Doom - as I
toss up between getting an N95 now and waiting for the new one in a
month or two (which may cost more though); and also between the Edirol
R-09 and the Zoom H4; and also what to do with Wordpress. The more
people assure me it is easy, the more I know it is not. Oh it is all
mental rapine and CRD (Choice-Related Despair) in techland.
