> Sure, maybe desktops, but everybody I know has a laptop and uses them a lot for certain tasks (some of which have been superceded by their mobile, addmittedly). Exactly. Some few tasks have migrated to mobile, and more will follow. But not all, and probably not even most. Also, the "desktop" I'm typing this on is a laptop plugged into an external monitor and keyboard. Most times it might as well be a desktop machine. A smaller screen and keyboard will never be as good as full sized ones. There will be evolution of platforms, and migration of tasks to platforms that fit the task better. But I'm afraid that sitting at a desk and wanting full-sized, dedicated screens, keyboards and mice is going to be with us for the foreseeable future. Not because mobile isn't powerful enough or because the UI hasn't yet matured, but because sitting at a desk is a better fit for some tasks.
