Who said anything about sacrificing quality? That's being a bit too presumptuous. Check my first post here:

I praised the concept but said I wouldn't go for it yet. Then check what I said about distinguishing devices where quality is the prime factor, and devices where portability is the driver.
I never expected you yo be so absolutist about something; "device convergence is for the idiot gadget freaks". Convergence is driven by the need to reduce weight most often, as far as electronics goes it works when the battery can stand up and when the quality is not compromised.
If the need to combine operations within one device was only for idiots do you think the Swiss Army Knife would be so celebrated?
