Because the kind of phones most people buy don't have such functionality, neither they are as good delivering the same experience or features. And they usually get expanded through MMC cards that only go up to 512 MBs of RAM and they are too expensive. And these phones are expensive themselves too. I believe that what you are saying will be common ground in phones by 2010 or 2012, but right now, yes, there is still a need for specialized devices. Except if you *already* have a PDA in which case it really can do what an mp3 player can (and usually pdas use SD/CF that are cheaper than MMC). If you don't have a PDA, still, a dedicated mp3 player is best.
