Why are they trying to push a computer down onto a cell phone? The answer is easy. Cell phones are more mobile.
Computer manufacturers have spent billions of dollars trying to make computers smaller, leaner and meaner. In some years, computer manufacturers are trying to make laptops with 17-inch diagonal screens and are hardly portable. This same year, they are pumping out laptops without CD ROM drives in order to decrease the footprint in weight. Pushing email onto a cell phone makes all the sense in the world, doesn’t it? Putting a keyboard on a cell phone is inevitable, isn’t it? But cell phones aren’t the answer. They still involve the brutal reality of the keyboard. That arch nemesis of all that is fun in the world. Stretching your fingers over the keys or punching furiously with two fingers on a cell phone.
No, the answer is not mini keyboards smaller than the size of a credit card. There must be something more magical, don’t you think? With all the greatest minds in the entire world churning out new and innovative microchips, haven’t we solved the problem of the keyboard?
