The problem with my separate mp3 player, gps, camera OCR, and so on is that they all blow the eyephone out of the water when it comes to feature sets, quality, and ease of use. So, while I feel like a dope walking around with my pockets stuffed and bulging with with kit, not to mention paying for each tool A la Cart, the fact is I'm more comfortable with the separate tools than the IPhone. Now, if the tools on the IPhone do what you need and your requirements aren't that steep, there's nothing at all wrong with buying an IPhone and letting fly.
I don't usually bother carrying the money reader. If I don't know what my bills are, I sort them before I leave the house. Anything else can usually be taken care of using the markers on the money.
