it wasn't uncommon to find your pockets heaving with gadgets -- a cellphone, an iPod, a camera, perhaps even a GPS device.
Today's smartphones often cram all of the above into a single device
Camera phones are convenient, but the tiny lenses and image processor chips mean inferior pictures. Handheld GPS devices are great, but unlike the dedicated units for cars, they're only truly accurate when they have a cellphone connection.
The same is true with video games. While many smartphones have app stores that offer a plethora of games to while away a boring bus ride, they're nowhere near the same quality as those you'd play in your living room or even on dedicated mobile consoles like the PlayStation Portable or Nintendo DS.
Size is the problem - trust me, techno the geek who brings it to ya!
