I looked at PalmPilots, Blackberrys and other handheld devices about 2 months ago -- didn't want any of them -- not handy enough. Check it out. <a href="http://www.apple.com/" target="_blank">http://www.apple.com/</a> -schwing!

It's a great feature but there is an issue with sound. Right now headphones are the only solution. The same type of screen is already available for cars so that the Driver can view a Navigation/GPS screen while the passenger watches a movie.

So now they've got the two people in the same room, but still not sharing anything together.

I've been a Palm user for many years now, and the touch screen functions always seem to degrade over time and suffer the most from normal wear and tear. It's a great concept, but probably not practical for a heavy use device like a phone. I guess we'll see . . .
