@Mrstickball: Yes. That's why PC:s drove consoles, DVD players, CD players and phones out of the market. And that's why PS3 is dominating the sales charts.
Let's go 20 or 25 years back in time and look how much future consoles had back then, because of all the things you could do with a computer. The current interest in smartphones is because there's a growing market for applications. And because everyone is flocking there, in a few years they are starting to get burned because the market doesn't grow as fast as the developer interest and the budget of the projects grow.
Because of smartphones, things we don't have after a decade:
Phones
Portable music players
Cameras
GPS navigation devices
PDA's
Calculators
Calendars
Etc.
And after two decades, we don't even have PC's anymore, because they are replaced by smartphones.
After three decdes, smartphones do your laundry and makes your coffee, so that's the end of washing machines and coffee makers. Also the gas stations cafe personnel will be unemployed because of this.
