[clue-talk] The Ultimate Gizmo?

[David L. Willson]

Technically, my spec includes at least a webcam, because the Treo and the N800 do.  I
find it unbelievable that nobody makes this yet.  It seems like everything is in place
for this, and yet...  No one invents it.  Baffling.  Y'know, I'll bet it exists as a
Windows CE / Pocket PC device, but I ~need~ support for ogg, because I don't hate
freedom very much, and most of my music collection is ogg, not mp3.
