The smart phones are pretty big if it's to be useful in any way and it might be ok for a chick that has a purse but for guys they are just going to get broken in a pocket.
Tablets are also kinda meh.. sure you can get neat apps on them so maybe it could double as a GPS or something but who wants to carry around the damn thing?
If I was gonna do that, I'd just carry around a small notebook or one of those shitty net books, because at least they can run normal computer type aps.

I don't believe in smartphones at all,
my solution to the iphone was to purchase an iPod touch, a decision I'm still very pleased with.
I also did not believe in tablets at all, being that I own a laptop, I thought it was total bullshit. But the $99 firesale for the touchpad got me, and I bought in as it was too cheap to pass up.
I must say, it has it's uses.. and it is definitely more portable and convenient than a laptop. If your laying in bed at night and have an idea, it's much nicer just to turn over and pick up your touchpad and check whatever out.. totally quick and useful. It's also good to shop on, and I like to have something that not all my work is on.
With that said, I would never ever spend $500 on a tablet, that would be utterly retarded.
I still could give a fuck about apps, a total waste of time for the most part. Be it for the touchpad, or the iphone.
