He always acts in a very mature way when people disagree with him. ;P

Honestly, I don't think he gets that smart phones as they are now are not going to replace the PC form factor. Until a smart phone can be plugged into a docking station with a keyboard, the smart phone will be a limited data consuming (not creating) device. For example, you won't be watching TV or first run movies on a phone's screen (seriously, who the hell would?). But you can tap out a message for twitter or facebook on a phone. Phones fit those situations and I honestly love mine for navigation. Beyond that, if I want to play a game or watch a tv show or write up a lengthy comment on HN then I'm going to use a PC or a laptop since those form factors are much easier to use for those purposes.
