- mcantelon 15y agoSure, but "post" implies replacement, implying that PCs are somehow obsolete. It would be akin to heralding the introduction of compact cars to being the "post-sedan" era. "Mobile computing" is a more accurate and less marketing-driven way to say "post-PC". Mobile computing hardware, like the Palm Treo, has been around for awhile... 3G is the technology that has really helped it come of age.
