Regular people want smart phones

Everyone wants a smartphone. Even Apple users.

No one wants what was a smartphone last year, 2 years ago, or even 6 months ago.

Everyone wants a new smartphone. It should do everything their current phone does... just as well.

Some want them bigger, some want them smaller. Some want keyboards, some want touchscreens, some want trackballs, some can not understand what purpose a trackball could possibly ever serve.

The form factor isn't important.



My favorite definition of smartphone is also the one I consider most rigourous. A smartphone is a little computer, and it's a phone.

  1. So what's a computer? PC's are computers. Laptops are computers. Apple's personal computer, counts. An apple product you put on your lap, that has a keyboard, that counts too.

    Your Nintendo product, it's not a computer.
