Smartphones to replace computers soon

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)?

I have to agree. It is pretty obvious that lots of people using an inane app is a direct and provable correlation to the demise of the computer, much akin to oxygen being necessary for human life to exist. I heard Dell has completely discontinued any and all computer production in favor of "app phones" with an Angry Bird OS, effective immediately. I went to Best Buy the other day and when I asked them to see their laptops they said "lahp.....toop? I have never heard of this thing of which you speak". Couldn't be any change over the last year more obviously directly connected to the end of the PC in this or any world of which we are aware than the success of Angry Birds to win over a gullible populace.

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.

First of all, the average person doesn't do any programming at all.

Second of all, yes, you will absolutely be able to program using a smartphone in the near future.

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 answered it already. Because the average user has been replacing their desktop with a laptop for a while now.

But smartphones are growing at an even faster rate.

So, watch that video in the first post and then come tell me why someone would buy a laptop after buying that phone.

Has anyone said owning a smart-phone and owning a lap-top will have no correlation of canceling one product out and both sales will continue to increase? That's what I believe.


BTW, IMO tablets are more likely to effect the laptop market than smart-phones. If you don't believe me, scan through a couple of pages of www.gizmag.com and count how many companies are making them.

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.

I guess a **** you too is in order?

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.

So if laptop sales continue to increase, how are they on their way to being obsolete so soon? They're trending in the exact opposite direction.

Well I (and anyone else developing apps for them) consider tablets and smartphones to be one and the same. They run the same OS and have all the same form and features.

They won't be in 4 years when the average person owns a phone similar to the one in the first post and the newer phones run full windows 8.

Seriously. Watch that video and then come tell me why the average person would buy a desktop or laptop after buying that phone.

And if that phone ran windows 8, why would anyone even argue this?
