I understand your complaints, but I don't think you're being realistic. Current technology is what it is. To jump back into the car analogy one last time, we're in the era of the 80's supercar. Sure, that Ferrari/Lamborghini goes fast and looks great, but it also overheats and breaks down frequently. Maybe in 20 years we'll have the cell phone equivalent of the modern supercar that can run cool, get 20+mpg on the freeway, and still post 11 second quarter mile times, but that time isn't here. All devices behave this way. Some are less powerful (in a power consumption, radiation production sense), some cool slightly better than others, but they all behave in the same manner. Even the iPhone, the king of user-friendliness and simplicity in the PDA-phone arena does the exact same thing under heavy use. For now, it's just the way it works.
