2) SMS messaging.

3) Cheap, real web browsing (ala iPhone/iPod Touch).

4) Good network coverage (I live in South Dakota).

5) Full sound ring tones.

6) Extensibility. If it can’t do it out of the box, anyone should be able to add it in.

When docked, the phone provides internet connectivity, and can still be used from the larger device’s contact list, etc.

When undocked, the phone would be light, small, and relatively light on features — with very long battery life.

This way, I could port the large pad around on the train, at work, and when I’m out with friends to talk about our Next Big Idea; but, I could just tote a small and reliable phone when I’m biking or have other reasons not to want the larger device.
