I see it as a way to enable other activities, I guess. I can use the phone to plot a new route for a bike ride, keep track of where I am with GPS, check the local NOAA weather radar, and then navigate by the stars on the way home if it's clear. If I get hungry, it can find food nearby. If something breaks, I can call a cab. If I ride by a nice-looking house for sale, I can stop and look inside on the realtor's site, and send them an email making fun of the asking price. Boredom is pretty far down the list of stuff that becomes possible with a modern smartphone. Or I could just stay home and play with the SDK if I want. To me, the technology in the phone itself is nowhere near as interesting as what it enables.
