The issues raised are good ones that have not recently been discussed at MobileRead. Also, many of the front page posts point to other websites where the original articles are found.
While there are many people that now use their phones for email and IM, the "mobile entertainment" segment is still far behind original projections. So far the discussion has centered on battery life; yet, it is easier to carry an extra battery or two than it is to carry another device. (I have several batteries for my phone and don't even read ebooks on it anymore.)
I am of the old school that would rather hear my music from speakers than from earbuds or headphones (except on an airplane where I have no choice if I wish to listen to my music) so the concept of listening to anything other than the current phone call on my phone is out of the question for me.
