Says you, I carry my 7" Nook HD on my coat pocket. And new phones have tiny bezels, the 5" Nexus 5 is barely larger than the 4.3" phones of yesteryear.
Neither have I, but that's not my point, my point is that the best DSLR won't be of much use when you have to take that shot and the camera is sitting in its bag at home, while your phone can save the day.

Actually no ...
I mostly use my phone for phone related activities only. Maybe 10 to 20 min during the day to read the news.
I am a DBA. I am 24/7 on call, all the time, so I need my phone to make phone calls, not read, not to play games. If I get a phone call at 8pm and I am running out of battery because I spend the whole day reading a book or playing games, and it's work related stuff, I may be in big trouble if I can't finish the conversation and/or find a way to charge my phone.
And sorry, but a 7 inches tablet is not portable by any means. It may fit on a suit, front pocket or a big jean's pocket, but not something that you may carry around all day (I used to own a Galaxy Tab by the way). If we were talking about a device that we can fold, but we may be few years away from that yet.
