They also take up a lot of room and unless you go for a premium model  
with decent optics then they're just a gimmic.

SLR photography is a hobby and even an APS-C sensor is seen as just  
good enough. Canon and now Nikon both have 35mm sensors on some of  
their camera models. So there's no way a tiny sensor in a phone is  
ever going to be useful for much more than drunken shots in a pub/bar.

You can get tiny VGA cameras that fit on your keychain if you  
desperately need a camera.
