No one listens to music on their cellphone. They listen to it on their multipurpose handheld general computing device. The key factor there is multipurpose. It is meant for lots of things. You can tell, every time you look at the screen.

Now look at your Kindle/Kobo/Nook/Sony/other, and tell me if it looks like that was intended as a multipurpse device.

I love multipurpose devices, and I think they should be designed that way from the get-go.
