Who the hell wants an MP3 player built into their cellphone?

I agree. I personally prefer a machine that does a few things really well. Others seem to be impressed by how many functions can be crammed into a single device.

I'm reminded of the forever wars in audio design. Some prefer clean component design with a minimum number of controls. Some can't have enough buttons, sliders, faders, knobs, etc. The beauty of the free market is we get a choice.

My first experience with these was the early multifunction office devices, printer, fax, phone, copier, scanner all in one. It didn't do any of them as well as the individual machines, and made doing any of of the tasks more complicated than it should have been.
