Better hold onto your cameras and MP3 players -- they will soon go the way of personal organizers and cassette/CD walkmans.

I think that's still a long ways to go.
My cell phone is strictly a cell phone no matter what I can do with it because of the following.
My cell phone is better at talking.
My iPod is better for mp3s / portable harddrive.
My iPaq or Palm or whatever is better at being a PDA.
My casio zxgabazillion or sony supermegadupercam is better at taking pictures.
Until they can incorporate a decent lens into a phone, I'm still keeping my camera seperate. Until they can't incoporate better input ability (qwerty keyboard and/or handwriting recognition) I'm keeping my PDA (okay i'm lying, i dont have one anymore, i returned the ipaq and gave my sister the palm m515). Until they can incorporate massive storage abilities (ie: 20gb or more, which is soon
) I'm keeping my iPod.
It's just a matter of time though, I agree, it's just a long long time, and as Keynesian said, in the long run we're dead.
