iPhone a Desktop? Not so fast says Dvorak

Our fav Tech commentator John C. Dvorak is much more "down to earth" about the iPhone replacing desktop/laptop/notebook PCs.

Here's the skinny:

The iPhone Is No Desktop - Columns by PC Magazine: "Everyone thinks that the iPhone is going to be the next major computing platform. Some even hope that it will replace the laptop as the primary PC platform. And what if it does? What are folks going to do when they spill coffee on their iPhones? They've already done a lot worse--they drop them into toilets over and over."

iPhone as the next all in one PC?

With the Apple iPhone SDK and announced Exchange support will apps soon appear to entice us to give up our desktop/laptop/notebook pcs?

Here's the skinny:


Good-Bye Desktop PC, Hello iPhone - Columns by PC Magazine: "My generation's concept of what it means to compute is so quaint and firmly rooted in the 20th century. Young people and teens computing 10 or 20 years from now will look back and laugh at people like me (and, most likely, their own parents and grandparents) who sat down at desks and worked on 20-pound boxes."
