iPhone vs. Laptop

I would imagine that we will see external keyboards for the iPhone similar to those available for Palm and Pocket PC devices.

If that happens, along with some decent apps being available, the iPhone will become more productive and users will have less need to carry a laptop with them.

I'm sitting here in my local coffee shop surrounded by the clackity clack of keyboards attached to the sea of laptops...and I, discreatley click on my tiny iPhone. It is just occuring to me that I haven't left my house with my laptop since June 29th (when I was waiting in line). I know the laptops in here are, I'm sure, being used for business in some cases. I always used mine for email and surfing, so it has been so much easier to walk down without my heavy suitcase. I guess I'm just curious...how many laptops are gathering dust out there?

Since the iPhone can't save documents, I must use my laptop. I have cut back on its usage, though.

One thing is I can't stand the time it takes to convert a movie to the iPhone size, so I still use my laptop for movies/video watching.

I find a couple of times a week I leave my laptop at home. If we could have some apps like pages, numbers or filemaker, then I would really use my laptop less.

i'v had my macbook replace my ibook since its release, and use it nonstop. I have an old powermac that i was attempting to convert to a media center, and then iphone and apple tv were announced. of course i wanted both. i couldnt see apple tv working for me, bc i dont liek plugging in my external to my macbook, so i wouldnt be able to even stream all my media.

anywyas, now that i got an iphone i feel i can roam so much easier with it that im using my macbook less, so now im gonna sell the macbook, get an imac, and then pick up an apple tv.

finally my master apple plan will come into full affect. i fall into apple's marketing scheme far too easily. kudos apple!
