As for a media player, the Droid lacks here but should be fine for anyone who is just trying to just basically listen to music.
My music library is over 110 GB of music. With the Droid, capacity isn't the problem--I don't need 110 GB of music all on my device. But I do need the music I want on the device at the time when I want to listen to it. This is where the Droid fails for me. I need smart playlists like some people need religion. I don't manually manage any of my playlists, that is just too much work with this much music. Since there is no way to rate songs or track playcounts or play history with the built-in player, a lot of what I use my iPod for just can't be replaced by the Droid player or any of the after market apps either.
The Droid comes the closest to fully converged for me as any device ever has, and I've gone through iterations of pdas to smart phones. It's always been the case that nothing could replace my iPod, but at least with the Droid my gps can be left at home. I find even my laptop gets left at home more often now.
ETA: Just saw your post about pictures and processing. There are market apps that will allow for processing the pictures, although I don't which would allow batch processing if you are trying to resize all the photos at once.
It can certainly handle emailing the pictures, but not sure i have never found a way to do bulk attachments.
