I've been having to text lately. Certain family members and acquaintances prefer it. My cell phone, though, only has a number pad, not a keyboard, so texting is a major hunt-and-peck operation. So I'm thinking, smartphone. But here's the thing. The main things I would want a hand-held electronic device to do for me are:
(1) composition. For when I have an inspiration for writing I need to jot down, or a to-do list item. Right now, I have a writing pad for that, but really, I end up jotting stuff down on random post-it notes and envelopes or whatever's handy.
(2) It'd be cool if the above was voice-to-text, *and* was easy to download to Word on my computer.
(3) texting, of course, since I finally have actual use for such a thing.
(4) e-reader, for storing and reading books
(5) device for storing MP4, particularly TV shows for playback on the device.
(6) Maybe emails, too.
(7) Oh, and a calendar.
Not of this spells "phone" to me. More like iPad/PDA. Right? Any suggestions of such a device?
