Smartphones are really trending towards becoming full blown computers. As of today our current crop of Smartphones is riddled with various 90's era limitations like restrictions on multitasking, inability to elegantly drive a big external display, lack of richer integration between apps (Android has it to a great degree but still it only gets better with more RAM and faster CPUs) etc. Plus we rely on web applications performing at near native speeds more and more - HTML5 is not free - CPU and GPU play great part in making the browser realize the near native performance and features.(JS/WebGL etc.) So in so much as we can do more faster with our phones I think it is not a bad thing to add computational power into our phones. One day we will all have one handheld to rule it all - phone, tablet, desktop with external display, gaming console etc.
