Are celphones the new computers

[David Rist]

So technologically advanced

I'd say so.

Cell phones are ubiquitous - - aka like toasters, just everywhere.
They are also subsuming (include or absorb something else.):

• cameras
• email
• texting
• calendar
• contacts
• plane / train schedules
• mapping / GPS / driving directions

Also can be loaded with applications, such as

• games
• word processing
• spreadsheets
• databases
• presentations

So at first glance, it would appear that the smartphone IS the new computer - - but look again - - it depends upon YOUR usage. If your a light user and create smallish documents, text, emails and avoid all company business document creation and sharing, then YES, your phone can become your computer. Beyond that, collaborating with workmates and sharing business reports, charts and presentations is quite another matter as the device is not fit for writing/editing all day long.

No it isn't, dead windows phone, android/google phone, apple iphone.
What joe mentions it has all of that and a bag of a chips but no its not the new computer.
If you have a desktop or laptop, or tablet, this would be the main as a computer and docking station for your Phonez.

I would say so, but to do some activities is better on computer still...

Pair it up with a good Bluetooth keyboard (the adaptive backlit Logitech K810 is my favorite), mount it in landscape position in a holder, and load a suite of office software and Presto! No more virtual keyboard cluttering up the display! Instant computer! You can view evrtything you type, just like on your big monitor. I happen to prefer Android Open Office. The workscreen for Writer (the word processor) looks just like the traditional Microsoft Word program, down to the rulers and margins. You can use your own downloaded fonts from the common folder and embed images.
