| Faxanadu said: Ever heard of Blackberries? Ever heard of UMTS cards for Laptops? The invention of smartphones did not do much to improve work efficiency of professionals. |
The BlackBerry interface was terrible, and the software barely usable, that's why you can scarcely find a hard keyboard smartphone anymore.
And there's simply no comparison between a computer you carry in a bag and use in your lap to a computer that fits in your pocket and is usable one-handed. Laptops are only now getting battery performance to rival smartphones, but a large clamshell form factor will never be as portable and usable on the go.
If how a tool performed its task didn't matter, carpenters would be using rocks to drive nails, because rocks are cheap. But I guess carpenters find value in the balance, leverage, and flat striking surface that hammers provide, despite a rock being all they "need".
