My Sony RX100II is truly pocket-able and has an integrated 28/1.8 equivalent lens, the Panasonic is very small but you still need to add a lens but in both cases neither are even close to replacing an SLR for so many types of photography that I do. I use the camera in my Android phone exensively too but again only within its limitations. You have to know what the gear can do in order to use it effectively, for most people a P&S is sufficient and for an increasing many the camera in their phone has proved to be more than adequate but that's not going to make top end DSLRs any less relevant.
