My iPhone the Computer

Here I am, late night, on the couch watching Matt Cassell’s amazing last second TD pass to Moss. Oh, I think I have Matty on the bench in one of my fantasy leagues…oops.

But this isn’t about fantasy football. This is about the fact that I am writing on my blog, checking email across three email accounts, reading about today’s wild stock market session and doing about six other things on my computer, er uh, my iPhone.

As an EIR, I have half my mind in “investor” mode and half my brain in “operator” mode, and in both cases I become more convinced that mobile is where computing power (usage) is headed.

Seriously, what does your computer have that the iPhone doesn’t? Bigger screen, Office software and high-end gaming. Maybe, but the only one of those that lasts long-term is the bigger screen.

Think about your next business trip. Do you really need to lug your laptop with you? Think about your weekend and evening work. Do you really need to boot up your PC?

The answers are “no” and “not really”.
