I once had an iMate JAM, and I ended up selling it. It just tried too hard to be too many things...
I have a Sony Ericsson W800i (2mp camera, 512mb storage Walkman MP3 player) and an hx4700 right now. Sure, my phone can take great pictures, but I still have a seperate camera whose sole purpose is to be a camera, and nothing more. It could also be my MP3 player, but I still have an iPod, dedicated to be only an MP3 player. My Pocket PC could be an emulator for GBA games, but I still have a GBA. Anyway, my point is that even though decives have all these extra features packed into it, I still use each device for its main purpose. I use my phone to call people, my Pocket PC to organize and browse the internet, my camera to take pictures, and my iPod to play music.
If you think about it, cell phones are the only things trying to be more than what they really are. I don't see Canon adding MP3 players or phones to their cameras. Apple isn't making an iPod phone. In fact, Motorola is making a phone with iPod features (the ROKR). There is no way the ROKR will ever be as good as an iPod.
