I disagree. I dislike having that many devices, I remember being <i>so</i> excited when phones started to have lots of memory and ability to play MP3s - I could skip having an MP3 player.<p>Each device imposes a maintenance burden. You have to remember to charge it. It takes space. It&#x27;s easy to forget to take that Nth device with you. They&#x27;re usually not interoperable, they don&#x27;t talk with each other at all - which is bad, because in this case an integrated device is more than a sum of its parts.<p>People get the Unix philosophy backwards - having lots of small tools is nothing but making waste if you can&#x27;t compose them together.<p>Personally, I want a SpecOps phone. Everything the AdventurePhone has, plus more ability to hack it. Plus <i>all</i> sensors. There aren&#x27;t that many things that piss me off more than the stupid market segmentation games phone manufacturers are playing. We <i>could</i> have had a goddamn tricorder. It wouldn&#x27;t be even that expensive because the parts are already there, and economies of scale works in favour of less differentiated devices here. But we don&#x27;t have it and won&#x27;t have it, because mobile devices are designed with sole purpose of milking money out of consumers, instead of giving people a versatile tool to expand their power and abilities.
