The word for holiday shopping: convergence

This was in a CNN.com article that I thought was very true for things to come this holiday season:

"If I tried to sum up the overall picture for the holidays into one word, it's 'convergence,'" said Scott Cameron, editor of Technogadgets.com. "If you're shopping for electronics, the must-have product is a single device that can do a little bit of everything."

"Manufacturers are constantly innovating with existing products and increasing their functionality. One of the 'it' products out there is the new smart phone that combines e-mail, net access, photos, video and audio all into one package," he added.

Yea...now the question is....will there be anything available in time for the holidays that I will want to replace my Kyo 7135? More specifically, will the Treo 750 be available through Verizon by the holidays? I'm not holding my breath!!!
