As long as there are people wanting only to read, and not willing to pay the extra power required by the rest..

People have been buying the Dell Streak, so there clearly are people who are willing to pay for a 5-inch phone.
You might also check for an NYT article that ran a couple of months (?) ago, covering how many people are using their smart phone cameras instead of dedicated devices.
Multiple-use devices aren't for everyone, but neither are dedicated devices.
I'll take a multi-use device as long as I find enough of the features meet my needs. That will vary from device to device. I don't see the point in dismissing whole categories of devices just because they happen to be multi-use; nor would I buy anything just because it's multi-use.
Thing is, we all have preferences. It seems silly, though, to assume that your or my preferences must apply to others.
