It's not the screen size or the memory or storage or touch complexities or the battery life or... some other thing. You know the greatest thing that no mobile device or xPad or other shiny new Apple-thing to market hasn't given me?
My system is my own: What I want on it, I get to put on it and no one, but me, deletes or changes what's there. Until I actually get to own my non-pc... or whatever it is that I paid for, I don't see them going away any time soon.
Until I can comfortably install my preferred flavor of nix/bsd or do my work painlessly, PCs are still going to be my first choice.

- klipt 14y agoWell, you did say that you want to own your device! The locked down version may sometimes be cheaper, but I bought a Galaxy Nexus upfront so I could use the $30/month T-Mobile prepaid data plan. Compared to a $70 plan, I paid off the phone in 10 months and everything after that is savings. (The Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4 phones, incidentally, will be the first able to run Ubuntu.)
