But also: I prefer the current setup, i.e. with specialized devices. As someone who has absolutely no interest in shooting video, I would not be willing to pay for that feature, through higher price, greater weight and bulk, shorter battery life or whatever other compromises would be necessary. In general, I have never found any device that does everything well. The iPhone is inferior to the iPod as a music player. My smartphone has PDA functionalities, but I find my 10-year old Palm Pilot far superior as a PDA. And so on.
