Today I read an interesting article called, “What is the Everyman’s PC?<\/a>” by Ben Brooks.<\/p>\n

“It’s easy to see why one would argue that the iPad could be better suited for most people than a MacBook Air, but a cellphone? That seems like a stretch, right?<\/em>” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

An iPhone is a very cool phone, but a computer? No way.<\/p>\n

That may be your initial reaction, but I ran an experiment today…<\/p>\n

I paired my iPhone 4S with my wireless Bluetooth keyboard and sat down in my recliner. Then I mirrored my iPhone onto my 42″ HDTV. You can do that if you have one of those little Apple TV boxes hooked up.<\/p>\n

Over the next little bit I read and replied to email, browsed some web sites, checked in on Facebook, and wrote an article.<\/p>\n

All things most “normal people” do everyday with their computers.<\/strong> But my computer in this case was my iPhone. With the addition of a keyboard and a (giant) monitor I had almost the full computer experience<\/em>. Enough to see that, for a lot of people, it could<\/em> be a replacement for an actual computer.<\/p>\n

Most people wouldn’t choose to do that, but someone with a limited budget or limited space could do it and probably be pretty happy.<\/p>\n

Do your email, check out some web sites, then pop your computer into your pocket and head to the store. <\/p>\n

Awesome. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
