Fuck your post-PC era (Score 1)

Smartphones usually do not outmatch the devices they are supposed to replace. Being limited to pocket size basically ensures this. In contrast, computers usually are much better at everything. With a computer, you can play mp3/tv/video; write email/docs/programs; make and receive phone calls; read Kindle books; and play anything from Solitaire to Starcraft 2. And it does this better than mp3 players, TV's, typewriters, telephones, Kindle tablets, and Playstations.

Smartphones can "do" a lot of the things other devices can, but it's usually not pleasant in comparison and for that reason I see them as backups or benchwarmers and I don't see them as a fun toy to spend lots of money on.
