MobHappy still on about: When your mobile is your computer

Maybe we are missing the point. I think we're just confunding ourselves with semantics. Does it matter if we define things as a computer or a mobile device? I think Russ does a good job here (link below) in focusing more on the tasks rather than what the device is called.

I've been talking about 'mobile vs PC' for so long I've come to realize that it's meaningless. Let's talk about what we need to get done and just use the right device.

What do you think?

Link: When Your Mobile is Your Computer at MobHappy.

My vision is that our mobiles are going to morph into something like our digital, thin client, key to our digital data, as well as a communication device. Sometimes we’ll access that data directly, as it’s stored on our phones - much as we might keep games on there today. And some will be stored on the web, so we’ll use our phones as a way of accessing and unlocking this data.
