I dunno... I compose a ton of emails on mine... some of my "best". I read all the time: books (not a lot), emails, social networks, and web pages and I'm still, years later, a little shocked at how rarely I get up off the couch for a bigger device. It seems unlikely to me that we'll ever plug our phones into our laptops because... nearly nobody really would like that. So... what's left of this article for me? Smartphones should move toward letting people do something "meaningful"? There seem to be apps for doing nearly anything I can imagine [that makes sense on a ~4" screen] and tons of things (more every day) that I wouldn't.
