I always wanted a supreme multi-purpose device - one device to rule them all...until I got my first Kindle. My smartphone is still many things to me, including an e-reader when appropriate, but I wouldn't replace my Kindle or my laptop with it even if I have replaced my mp3 player and camera (I'm not a serious photographer).
Just on that mp3 player replacement, one of the things that ticks me off about smartphones sometimes is that if the company also makes specialised media devices, I find that the volume coming from the jack isn't as loud as I know they could make it. When I had a simple blackberry, the volume was quite satisfactory. When I got the Galaxy Note, there was a noticeable drop in volume even though I know that Samsung have made media devices based on Android.
It sometimes feels like they market the smartphones as a replacement for everything and then make sure that it's somehow inferior to the specialist device.
Has anyone experienced this with smartphones - eg. iPhone, Samsung etc..?
