It's meant for consuming Web pages, videos, music... not so much for being a mobile journalist, although I have blogged with it. It would be great if somebody designed a device that worked so smoothly for the journalist, doing many of the things you mention, and more. But seeing how videographers struggle with conversions, compressions, formats, etc., I worry that I would be spending most of my time trying to get the MoJo Q32i to sync with the awkard combination of third-party software I'd have to download. There's a market there, for someone who's interested... I love the iPhone, but I find it to be a consumer-oriented device, not a producer.
