If one was willing to spend and extra $1K and have multiple add ons sticking out of my phone and attached to my dashboard I could add most of what you mention to my Treo 650 but neither the clutter nor the cost make sense to me. -Andrew Tom:

Comfortably watching DVD's is the one thing that my cell phone (a treo 650) can't handle on plane trips.
