Guys... read the closing line before jumping the gun: "Keep in mind that, despite our griping, there will still be reasons to purchase some of these items. But FOR THE AVERAGE TECH JOE, avoiding them might be easier than you think — resulting in some extra cash in your bank to spend elsewhere."
Average Joes and Janes can get away with using their smartphone for everything. Of course us power users are still going to use real Blu-ray discs (extras, quality), real cameras (quailty), real flash drives (speed and convenience), real mp3 players (audio quality), high end desktops (gaming) and real alarm clocks (for a number of reasons).
As I said, a lot of "basic users" are moving away from dedicated hardware and using their new shiny smartphones for everything. Average guys love streaming services and using one device for everything even if it hurts the quality of the experience tremendously.
