Do you need a separate camera anymore?

Gruber makes an interesting point in this post on the Process photo filtering app:

The sensors and lenses of dedicated point-and-shoot cameras remain superior to those in smartphones, but, smartphones can run real photo editing apps right on the device itself. Use a “camera” and you still need a computer to tweak or share your photos. Use a smartphone and you can do it all right there.

If all your photos end up on the web and never get printed, it’s making less and less sense to have a separate point-and-shoot anymore.
