Convergence: what level are you at?

We all know that new devices try to do a lot more than just their main function. The biggest example being mobile phones. To some people they can be their camera, MP3 player, video recorder, internet device, organiser, etc.

I was just wondering: what level of convergence are you at?

I'm pretty low down the table to be honest, with my phone only being good as a phone. I have a standalone camera, and my MP3 player is my main organiser and internet device.

I'm down to three devices.

Digital Camera for good quality shots, and macro shots. Laptop for desktop stuff.

Then my phone, is my phone, my organiser, my email client, my calculator, my watch, my mp3 player, my PMP, my e-book reader, my sat-nav, and occasional camera.

Since I was able to add an iPlayer applet to my phone, I actually watch iPlayer more than I did on my laptop.

My phone is my phone, email, calender, mobile browser, music player and camera (but camera isn't that great on the magic)

Still use a proper digital camera for most pics and a digital cam-corder for video so convergence not working to well for me.

I forgot to say, my "proper" digital camera has replaced my desktop scanner. I use it for digitising paper documents now, and got rid of my scanner.

I wouldn't say that i'm very converged at all. Got a PC, a Wii (Which I never use so should probably sell it), a 360, a DS, and an iPod Touch. My desk is a bit of a mess at the moment.
