I've been feeling the need to update some of my gadgetry.  Nothing phenomenally expensive in mind, just looking at my camera, mp3 player, and phone.  Right now I have the following:

Camera:  Canon S330 Digital Elph

I adore this camera.  The only thing I would like to improve here is a little more Mp, and addition of redeye reduction, which are included in all the new Elphs.  I really like the feel and size of the 330, and so I plan to stay with the Elph.  I'm looking at the 750, but I could be persuaded to go for another Elph model.

mp3:  iRiver iFP-700

I am very happy with this player, but I would like to increase my storage to 2GB.  The T-10 looks like a good match for me.

Phone:  Motorola E815

Meh.  I'm not unhappy with this phone.  Mostly I hate Verizon's user interface, and the way they lock their phones.  Unfortunately, they have great coverage and great sound, and I've had very good luck with their customer service, so I'm not looking for a switch.  I just want a cooler phone.  ;)  My two year contract is up, so I can get $100 off of my next phone with another 2 year contract.

Thoughts from the gadgeteers?

You may wish to wait for the Android phones to start coming out, if you don't update your geek gear that often.

My guess? Android will be a dog's breakfast of functionality contributed by companies that can't compete with what they have, and a tiny fraction of very vocal users will wonder why everyone doesn't immediately adopt it, since it is perfect.

Give it a 4-8 years and it will be semi-decent, but all of the innovative features will have been duplicated by commercially viable creators.

forgot to add...

... if anything like what was promised is ever shipped at all.

I don't update often at all, but I'm not sure I want to wait for Android. Knowing Verizon, they'll lock it down somehow. Bastards. ;)
