Lazy,
You might want to stop and take note that no cellphone of the multi-purpose type has been particulary successful apart from those that play music, and that is because music is something universal with us humans. Most people aren't interested enough in gaming, let alone gaming on the go, to buy a cellphone that they can game on (see dysmal sales performance of ngage for example).
Gamers on the other hand care about breadth of software library, ergonomics, audio and video fidelity and to some extent, specs. A gaming cell is always ALWAYS going to suffer on all of these points compared to a well-designed portable gaming device, reducing the interest for consumers to buy them and manufacturers to make them, driving cell gaming into an early grave before it even has a chance to take off.
Then again there's the issue of battery life. Why burn out all the power in your cell playing tiger woods or whatever on it so you can't make any calls with it - which is the primary function of a cell mind you! That's just dumb, and people KNOW THIS.
