I have an objection on YCRFS 5 : http://ycombinator.com/rfs5.html http://ycombinator.com/rfs5.html Mobile devices are physically constrained by their use case. They must be small to be carry-able. I believe in a future where mobile devices will be more ubiquitous, and where specific tasks (like development) would be delegated to "static" machines. In the future, mobile devices will be more like a magic wand than a workstation. We would enable functionalities in different "static" devices with the same mobile device. Also, you ask : How could you make a device programmers liked better than the iPhone? I would suggest : make an open device for less that $100 and you will win. Now we know that price is a feature. No need for a big touch screen.
