More developments in line with my gadget consolidation thought.  Broadcom is developing a chip that allows you to record in 1080p HD, and play it, from a phone.  It will have HDMI connectivity so you can watch your recordings, or streaming HD on your dedicated screen.

Despite the boost in performance over its 720p-only predecessor, the BCM2763 actually consumes less power due to its 40 nanometer manufacturing process. Broadcom anticipates 20 to 50 percent less power draw overall and long lifetimes specific to 1080p video. It can record 4 to 6 hours of 1080p non-stop and play 8 to 10 hours directly from its own device screen; the number grows to 16 hours when outputting to an HDTV.
