I think this is the case because so far phone features for the most part are subpar to their dedicated counterparts. The new Nokias and Sony Ericsson though boost formidable cameras and SE has decent playback. The most popular phone as of now (RAZR) has a mediocre camera and a mediocre music player. I believe as the phones become higher spec'd and more advanced it might displace some of the dedicated electronics.
Just as with music player/ camera phones there are varying levels of smart phones. The most basic such as the Cingular 2125 are still kinda of limited in function and don't have the touchscreen abilities of the PDAs. Also software synchronization isn't up to par.
