Only if 1) the additional functions really didn't impact the other requirements (Magic 8-Ball says: "Don't count on it") and 2) I wanted the other device(s). "Cheaper than buying the device you want plus five more you don't" just isn't a great selling point.



No, manufacturers are trying to convince people the word 'gullible' can't be found in any dictionary, and proving P.T. Barnum right in the process.
I think you struggle with the word Gullible.

where do i say anywhere that I believe they will do it or have done it already?

I stated that they are TRYING to do it. which is true, they are.

and actually "Cheaper than buying the device you want plus five more you don't" just isn't a great selling point."

Would pretty much be the BEST selling point EVER.

a multifunction device that is cheaper than the sole use device i wanted AND does 5 other things as well as the original requirement I needed...

Why would anyone not spend less! lose no functionality! get the ability to do other things for effectively nothing?
