iPad - the dream Apple product...almost there

I actually sent a message to Apple's R&D department back in 2002 and 2003 which outlined my dream Apple product - a phone, e-book reader and mp3 player all in one. Since then we have had the iPod, iPhone and now iPad. Though there is a model that utilizes 3G, it is still not practical to use as a phone, but with mobile internet and wifi we are almost there. This is the closest to my dream Apple product to date.
