Funny thing is the zaurus is pretty old and it did all that. I think
minus the cell phone if this UMPC thing works out you almost have what

However, I have worked out the tivo bit by getting an ipod video and
setting up podcasts with mythtv. Cross country plane flights aren't
nearly as bad now that I can watch tv the entire way.
