A mobile entertainment and communication device in a palm-held size
housing has a cellular or satellite telephone capable of wireless
communication with the Internet and one or more replaceable memory card
sockets for receiving a blank memory card for recording data directly
from the Internet and, in particular, musical performances that then can
be selectively reproduced by the device for the enjoyment of the user,
including both audio and visual recordings and reproductions. The device
also includes a camera and microphone for recording images and sound
within the range of the device that can be wirelessly transmitted, either
selectively or automatically to a remote telephone. Further, the device
includes sensors for sensing unusual conditions that may also be
transmitted to a remote telephone, together with the location of the
device as determined by a GPS section of the device.
