3 They can add a blog writer, they don't
4 They can add mp3/music, they even removed it.
5 They can add GPS, they don't.
(I'm traveling, phone just useless under sunshine, how I want
a eink devices with GPS and map(mono ok)!)
6 There can be games like chess, mines, cross word, soduko,
poker or SLG no need of color screen, but they don't.
Many of above functions even available in old mono screen devices such
Palm.

I have a smartphone with lcd screen for all those functions. Reading kindle books on its 5" screen was fine until I bought the PW. Quite frankly, it's simply a lot more confortable for reading. The creamy eInk surface screen almost screams to me: "lick me"
Besides screen estate (a non-issue with tablets sure), the ereader also offers excellent reading under any lighting conditions and that truly awesome battery economy...
