I've got several needs and I'm looking for solution recommendations.
1. I work out a lot and it's getting pretty boring being without my own music when at the gym, outdoors, or even at home. Should be protable enough that I can easily operate it while working out. Must support music, playlists, shuffling, etc. Videos, images, and others not required.
2. I'm a student and I do a lot of reading, so I liberally use the read out loud feature in adobe reader. But I'd like to be able to use this anywhere similar to an mp3 player. Must support pdf.
3. I do a lot of traveling and driving, and I'm contantly needing street directions, points of interest, alternate routes, traffic conditions, etc. Mostly out in the open except when I step into a house or vehicle. I don't venture much into the tall cities, so tall buildings aren't really a concern.
4. I attend a lot of meetings, speeches, lectures, so I take a lot of notes. I would like something that digitally records this so I can review it later.
5. Just like everyone today, you can't operate without a phone. I currently only use it to talk, check the time, schedule, wake me up, calculate, etc.
I realize an all in one solution will probably never exist or it will be a jack of all trades, so this can be multiple devices, but I'd hate to carry around an ipod, pocketpc, GPS, digital recorder, and a phone at the same time.
