A 2 megapixel phone camera won't replace a digicam?

What about my 2MP digicam? The CCD finally gave out, so it's time for a new camera. While I'm not the biggest iPhone fan, it's a flash away from replacing my camera, since I realized a long time ago that I simply don't *need* more than 2MP for snapshots.

For anything beyond snapshots, I need an SLR, a few lenses, a bag of filters, a flash, and possibly a floodlamp. Then I need three types of color film, minimum, and possibly a few rolls of B&W film, both ISO 25 and ISO 100, depending on what I'm shooting.

Fact is, you're either taking shots which need a crapload of detail, or something quick to show to your friends and family. The middle-ground isn't there for most consumers.
