Camera - No. Not for people who want a real camera. If I was Sony though I'd sure as hell would try it. Just walk in and throw a Evo 4G and one of those nice Cybershots on the table. Tell them to merge it. Sure you'd get a $800 phone. Come up with some nice Cybershot Software. Get one of those nice Carl Zeiss lens.
Gaming - As a gamer I doubt it. On a tablet however I sure would love something like WoW or AOE. I think a good rts or god game would do nice with the touch functions.

Something interesting about the Cybershots...now my info on PnS cameras and the Cybershots is a few years out of date but on most of the Cybershots you have to read the specs very closely and ensure the specs specifically state a GLASS Zeiss lense otherwise it's likely an optical grade plastic/lexan lense with Zeiss coatings and that is it...in other words ya ain't getting the real Zeiss optics they name would seem to imply.
Yeah, I was shocked when I learned about his sleight of hand. A number of years before I bought my first digital, a DSC-S70 because it was one of the few digitals, in 1999, that used glass optics plus they were real Zeiss options. It was sometime after then when there was a change. Hopefully they went back to glass again.
Just another case of having to read what the spec sheet is not, or has stopped, detailing...as in they were stating something like "Carl Zeiss coated optics" of something along those lines rather than "Genuine Carl Zeiss Glass Lens"...and people wonder why I rank marketing folks below attorneys...
