The PDA was always a device begging to be absorbed by a phone, because the PDA technology of yesterday still works today.<br /> <br /> However, when was that last time you were satisfied using your cell phone to shoot your family photos, or your digital video footage, or download and sync your music and playback? Furthermore, are you willing to drain your cell phone battery to listen to music only to have the battery die when you need to make (or receive) a call?<br /> <br /> I have an idea for the cell phone companies and carriers...How about make a phone that can actually make and receive a quality phone call? Now that would be some real innovation.

The phone has a FM radio and that´s something most portable MP3 players do not have. My Nokia N70 has replaced my iPod when listening on music on the go.

What matters is the quality of digital to analog conversion and amplification. Both are still very low with mobiles, not to mention you have to use dedicated headphones that are miles behind current standard set by Sennheiser or Beyerdynamic headphones. Take any iRiver or Creative player and play the same song using the same headphones, then compare it with playback thru mobile phone. There is audible difference. I compared it on Zen Micro and my SE k300i phone with Sennheiser headphones. I'd say mp3 players will live long and prosper.

Why carry around multiple devices when one will do? Like the PDA, MP3 players will eventually cease to exist as stand alone products in the future. I tend to agree with this statement.
