More seriously, I guess the ability to run "Apps" is sort-of computerish. But not really. My phone runs Apps, but cannot run any of the software I've been running on my desktop for decades.

I'd like to be able to take that computing power with me wherever I go. But not so much that a laptop was ever a priority for me. Too clunky. Gotta admit, iPads are dead sexy. But I'd like a portable computer, not a giant non-phone iPhone.

Bluetooth and WiFi take away most of the needs for inputs. Cords are old school.
