  1. screen size is a big issue , surely squinting over a phone will not take over from laptops, I'm sure the industry would love it though , the look at my new flashy phone attitude is much bigger than the look at my new laptop mentality , it says something about how phones are marketed compared to laptops,I wonder is the phone industry bigger than the laptop industry ? I'm sure theres more money in the mobile phone business anyway.

  2. MEMORY spelt incorrectly

  3. MEMORY spelt incorrectly

    me? where?

  4. not you, in the page showing all the articles

  5. fixed now

  6. Yes lets have more retards paying more attention to texting and email than paying attention to driving. At least a laptop is harder to hide from they cops when they get caught.

  7. had a bad experience did you tekkaraiden , yea well at least laptops don't have ringtones , can you imagine!

  8. "MEMORY spelt incorrectly"

    You corrected the spelling of memory, but fail to realize that "spelt" is not a word. It's spelled. The past tense conjugation of the verb spell....

  9. thanks for the grammar lesson, we'll all sleep better now , most people here are poetic licence holders anyway , didn't you know that ?

  10. who has the time for all that grammar checking while writing?

    i dont think it is time to ditch the laptop for a smartphone.smartphones still have weak points such as screensize,memory,processing power.until these issues are sorted out laptops will continue to sell

  11. Smartphones are going to have to have equal power and a video out before I even think about using one to replace my current means of getting work done.
