I think in some instances...like the GPS for instance, having that as part of my phone is nice as that is one less device I need to have. If the phone is capable of it, why not? My phone replaced MP3 players a long time ago. Obviously in very specialized area, like photography, a specialized device will always be better and if you are wanting that kind of quality you will use that instead. I dont see anything wrong with multi-purpose devices as opposed to having to carry 100 single purpose devices.

I have a Sony DSLR and a HD video camera. My blackberry also has a camera to take photos and videos. The blackberry does a good job at spur of the moment situations when I need to take a video or photo. But if I know I will be taking photos (at a party, on vacation, ect...) I will use my DSLR. The quality can not compare. Plus, underwater, I have a housing for the Sony. Hard to take photos with the Blackberry while scuba diving :P Heck, I still use my Garmin GPS if I am traveling. -----Original Message----- From: Cameron Childress [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, April 13, 2011 3:23 AM To: cf-community Subject: All-In-One Phones are Killing Dedicated Devices. The latest casualty? The Flip Camera. http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2011/04/flip-camera-rip It was just December when I was posting asking for suggestions about what type of HD digital video device to buy. I bought one, but still find myself using my iPhone 4 more often, mainly because it's always with me and the HD Video camera is not. I also have a digital (still) camera that I haven't used in a long time for the same reason. The phone is very competitive with dedicated devices. All-in-one smartphone devices are killing single purpose devices off one at a time. Even that all-mighty Flip. -Cameron -- Cameron Childress Sumo Consulting Inc http://www.sumoc.com --- cell: 678.637.5072 aim: cameroncf email: cameronc@gmail. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:336263 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
