No camera with a lens smaller than a dime and a sliver of a sensor will ever, ever, ever be as good as a big piece of glass in front of a big piece of silicon.
My camera is an ancient f707 (but I'd never want to part with it) and no little toy camera built into a phone (or future convergence device) will ever be as good as even that antique.

You struggle with the word imagination right?
of course it cant now... but who is to say what the future holds? I own a number of Canon bodies and lenses and studied Photography 10 years ago So I understand what your saying but it is irrelevant to what COULD be the case using your IMAGINATION.
IF a device existed that did have the ability to shoot as well as your f707 and was a phone etc and had a built in projector etc and all these other functions in no way impacted on your camera requirements and the cost was less than 2 seperate devices then you would consider it.
That is what manafacturers keep trying to do and of course they cant now just like a few years ago you couldnt get a good games playing phone and MP3 in one device and now their are multiple instances of this.
