Smartphones to replace computers soon

10 years ago is in no way what the market will look like in another 4 years.

And there absolutely is a huge market for smartphone programmers, right now.

Programming FOR smartphones, not ON smartphones. They still do their work from a real computer and couldn't work (efficiently) otherwise.

I find it hard to believe that you wouldn't have made that distinction.. I know you're not that dumb.
 
"The total number of Laptops sold just in the USA during the last 3 years, according to IDC September 2008 figures and projections, were 106.6 million units.

This total figure corresponds to the following years:

30 million Laptops in 2007
35.5 million Laptops in 2008
41.1 million Laptops in 2009

Also, projected sales for the upcoming years are:

47.5 million Laptops in 2010
54.1 million Laptops in 2011
61.1 million Laptops in 2012"


Sounds like this laptop thing's just a fad.
 
Wait a second. That wasn't your original argument. Do you need me to quote your statement? Salty, I have no qualms with you or some of your ideas, but don't ****ing ******** me.
My point is that laptops are soon to be obsolete. If you point out that 5 of them were announced at CES, I'll point out that there were 10 times that number of smartphones and tablets announced at the same show.

Why then do laptop sales continue to increase year over year?
 
This is exactly how I feel. That and the fact that he can't admit when he's wrong just like in homer Ute posts.

Laptops will never be obsolete. No one wants to come home and fiddle around on some tiny object whose screen is a third of the size (at best) of their laptop. There's no enjoyment in the experience then. It becomes work.
Watch the video in the first post and then tell me why the average user would buy that phone and still buy a laptop.

This goes beyond blatant obfuscation. It's plain ol lying. **** you Salty. I hope you don't have kids, because if you do, they're going to come out ****ed up like their Dad.

Trout completely understood what you said and how I completely blew your statement out of the water. You're a ****ing liar and I have completely the opposite opinion of you that KEK has. I think you're an ******* and a blatant liar.

Wait, before I do that, please answer my question above. Why do both U.S. and global laptop sales continue to increase year over year?
 
I hope you realize that you've said this for about a year now and nothing's changed. And that every six months I will bump this thread, ya know, from my laptop, which will not have become obsolete.
Nothing has changed? Lol! You obviously have no idea what you're talking about.

The Android version of Angry Birds pulls in a million per month in revenue from ads. Are you telling me free smartphone apps have always got that much revenue from ads (which is based on the number of people using the app)?

Oh? What credits you? Following TV shows that only show the newest and trendiest devices? I'm in the real world, making use of real technology for the benefit of society. People like me make the internet work for businesses of all shapes and sizes. I couldn't work on a phone. I don't know how else to tell you that it'll never happen.



I can program on a tiny screen, multi-task and have the processing power to run several powerful applications at the same time without slowing me down? Um, wrong.

And besides, you just proved yourself wrong. "You could do that if you had a server..." so, what's a server? A computer? Hurrr.. way to contradict yourself. You should have said "you could do that without a computer if you had another computer to support yourself.. err uhhh".

FAIL.



The average person as in the person that doesn't need real computing power to do a job? How many people are there that use computers for their job that couldn't possibly be replaced with a phone? Or are you just considering yourself and not everyone else?

What it really sounds like is you like phones and you're jizzing your pants over some video about a new phone, and then twisting it into some fail argument that makes no sense because you have no perspective on how the world uses real-life technology.
So you do a bunch of stuff the average person doesn't? And therefore the average person could never get by without all the tools you use?

Lol! What credits me? For starters, I own a cell phone and am well aware of what it can and can't do. And I know there are people working (myself included) to make them do even more.

Angry birds is so popular, god has been playing it in the south.

Neither sales, nor usage of laptops, is increasing at anywhere near the rate of smartphone sales and usage.

Laptop sales are increasing primarily because desktop sales for home users are decreasing.
