I don’t bother with handheld devices. Their performance is terrible compared to a desktop. I can easily get through the day at work without having to rot my mind with facekook, wikipedia and tweaker. And when we go out on the town the morons sitting in restaurants and theaters with their devices just make me want to frag the place. This whole apple, andrioid, whatever crap just passes me by. Guess I’m just a luddite because I just have a dumb phone and don’t have a huge data/phone bill each month.
I agree with you for the most part, with a few exceptions:
1. I have a remote control app on my tablet that enables me to log in to my clients’ PCs. This is much preferable to lugging around my laptop.
2. There’s a mobile website called nextbus.com that tells me when the next bus or streetcar will arrive, updated in real time using my location and GPS data from the transit system. On a cold morning like today it’s a godsend.
3. My tablet has an ebook reader app that is awesome- I can download titles for free from the public library.
