I find the iPhone has plenty of power for a compact hanheld computer.

Uh huh, but it won't connect to a device programmer, an RS232 connector, or a printer.

So, it depends upon what the computer was used for in the first place.

It does but I wouldn’t write a book, article, or legal document on it.

I wouldn’t do photo retouching for print exhibition or print advertising (even for a local concert or yardsale) on it.

I wouldn’t do spreadsheet calculations on my phone.

etc.

So if someone doesn’t use their computer to do their job (daytime or outside income), a phone may give them all the computing power they need (calculator, internet, stock quotes, weather forecast, limited movie viewing, games, and communication).
