I think there is quite a bit of merit to this. My wife and I hardly open our laptops at home anymore. The iPhone allows us to do most of what we need to do on the Internet without the dead weight and overhead of a full blown laptop. A netbook is out of the question, as the keyboard is a pain compared to the iPhone; we have plenty of practice on the virtual keyboard from texting, and the autocorrect (for the most part) works well. The connectivity isn't bound to WiFi, and the cost is something we've built into our monthly bills. Being 'always-on' is something we take for granted, but it really makes the experience that much more immersive.
