Well, the iPhone may be nice if you're near the object you want to photograph and it's a bright sunny day, but:
- it horribly sucks at low-light photography, you can't just screw an iPhone to a camera tripod to get a beautiful shot of the night sky
- there are CF and SD cards with WiFi support, which can be used in virtually any camera
- good luck taking a good distance shot with an iPhone
- good luck putting an iPhone onto a stabilizer (e.g. Steadicam)... and no, software can't replace that.
Steadicam for iPhone
