Exactly n[ow your getting it, and who is out there who doesnt have a phone and a camera?
or a MP3 player and a camera?
or a DS and a phone and a PDA
Pretty much 99% of the population will have more than one of those devices and as long as the multifunction meets their needs and is realistically priced eg more than a single but less than 2
then as you said it "starts to become appealing" hence why all the efforts by manafacturers to achieve this.]
