Are they really starting to run out of ideas? The latest cell phone, the FOMA P901iS, has visualizers while it plays back music. According to this page it even has an editor to creator your own.

It's still going to be another 1 or 2 models before I'll have no desire for a small party digital camera but we're getting there.
It's got what is basically now the bottom of the line features in Japan which is color display, Java app/game support and a digital camera. It's also got mini−SD card support to make it easy to get your pictures out.
