You assume of course that there will never be a device powerful enough to match desktop.
Should I remind you that the chip in the that SIm card is in fact the same cpu chip that was used in Apple IIs?
In next ten years you will see design,programming, etc done on tablets
- ThomPete 15y agoI don't think I assume that at all. In fact CPU power have very little if anything to do with it. We could do much smaller cellphones than we do. But we don't because there is a certain size where things start to break down. I need the space when I work. Just like I need a desk of a certain size. The need for big screens wont go away any time soon.
- swalsh 15y agoI think a large part of it is also form factor. My phone could have the power of 3 super computers, but i'd still choose my laptop over it. I prefer a larger screen, and a real keyboard. For a mobile device to replace my desktop/laptop user interfaces + form factors are going to need some rapid advances.
- cluda01 15y agoFoldable keyboards and dirt cheap projection technologies could mitigate the form factor issues. How about holographic displays? Or huds?
- ThomPete 15y agoSure, but not anytime soon.
- svdad 15y agoI agree with the form factor issue, but an iPad with a Thunderbolt port would basically take care of it. OK, might need a little more graphics hardware on the iPad to drive a big monitor, but that can't be far off.
