What is claimed is: 1. A vehicle console, comprising: a compartment moveable between an open position and a closed position; and a table member coupled to said compartment and moveable between an extended position and a retracted position, wherein said table member is generally parallel to at least one of said sidewalls when in the retracted position, and wherein said table member provides a writing surface when in said extended position, wherein said table member is slideably coupled to said compartment, and wherein said table member is rotatably coupled to said compartment. 2. The vehicle console of claim 1, wherein said writing surface is generally horizontal when said table member is in said extended position. 3. The vehicle console of claim 1, wherein said writing surface defines a generally vertical plane when said table member is in said retracted position. 4. The vehicle console of claim 1, further comprising a console base, wherein said compartment is slideably coupled to said base. 5. The vehicle console of claim 4, further comprising a vacuum port coupled to said base. 6. A vehicle console, comprising: a fixed base selectively coupled to a vehicle an armrest slideably coupled to said base and moveable between an armrest fore position and an armrest aft position; and a tray device slideably coupled to at least said base and moveable between a tray extended position and a tray retracted position, wherein said tray device includes a writing surface. 7. The vehicle console of claim 6, wherein said tray device is slideably coupled to said armrest. 8. The vehicle console of claim 6, wherein said armrest selectively covers at least a portion of said tray device. 9. The vehicle console of claim 6 wherein said tray device includes a tray rotatably coupled to a tray frame and rotatable about a tray axis with said tray frame. 10. The vehicle console of claim 9, wherein said tray axis is generally perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the vehicle. 11. The vehicle console of claim 9, wherein said tray includes at least one side and a bottom, wherein said bottom is defined, at least in part, by said writing surface. 12. The vehicle console of claim 6, further comprising a rotatable storage device coupled to said base, wherein said rotatable storage device can be accessed by rotating said rotatable storage device about an axis. 13. The vehicle console of claim 12, further comprising: a compartment moveable between an open position and a closed position; and a table member coupled to said compartment and moveable between an extended position and a retracted position, wherein said table member is generally parallel to at least one of said sidewalls when in the retracted position, and wherein said table member provides a writing surface when in said extended position. 14. A rotatable storage device for vehicle comprising: an interior member defining a console cavity; and a generally cylindrical housing selectively interposed at least partially within said console cavity and having a housing axis and an outer surface, wherein said housing is rotatable about said housing axis, said outer surface is defined by at least one aperture, and said housing defines at least one storage compartment. 15. The device of claim 14, wherein said housing includes at least one web, wherein said web divides said housing into more that one storage compartment. 16. The device of claim 15, wherein said web is generally perpendicular to said housing axis. 17. The device of claim 14, wherein said outer surface is generally tubular. 18. The device of claim 14, wherein said outer surface is defined by more than one aperture. 19. A vehicle console, comprising: a base; a console base, wherein said compartment is slideably coupled to said base; a vacuum port coupled to said base; a compartment moveable between an open position and a closed position; and a table member coupled to said compartment and moveable between an extended position and a retracted position, wherein said table member is generally parallel to at least one of said sidewalls when in the retracted position, and wherein said table member provides a writing surface when in said extended position. 20. The console of claim 19, wherein said table member is slideably coupled to said compartment.
