I still wouldn't buy one. A super-duper all-in-one device is only a good deal if a) you want all those functions (and lots of people don't), or b) it does a better job (or an equivalent job at a lower price) than one (or more, depending on your individual needs) dedicated device that performs a function you do want.

The more functions you add, the more design compromises you're forced to make, the higher the price goes, the greater the chance a dedicated device will outperform at a lower cost, and the smaller the potential market as a result.
