Mobile technology has become so advanced that many people are wondering if mobile telephony will kill the PC. There are some people who think that the PC will be completely replaced while there are other people like Dell CEO, Michael Dell who says that though the mobile will start performing many functions of the PC, it will not completely replace the PC. Michael Dell says that every user will have access to a lot of devices which may be dedicated to a particular task.

With the smartphone you can browse the internet and chat with your friends. You can also connect to social networking websites such as Facebook. But, we think the smartphone will not able to perform all the functions of the computer at least in the next 50 years. Today you can also find devices that can do many functions of the PC. For example, Apple has launched the new iPad which has become a rage today.The other competitors are not far behind. Dell has recently introduced the prototype of Dell’s new smartphone called the Android Streak. Unlike the iPad and much like the PC, this device is capable of running multiple applications. The Streak will be made available in the United States soon.

We presume that one day mobile devices will be able to perform many functions of the PC as the size of the CPU becomes smaller. Scientists at Intel and likewise are doing their best and coming out with processors that will measure a pinpoint and still be able to do billions of operations a second. But you will have to wait a little for this phenomenon. Today just by spending a few hundred dollars you can buy a PC or laptop with which you can literally do anything right from checking your mails to developing high end software programs. The mobile phone and the PC world have a lot to offer at present and in the future, and today both of them compliment each other very well. We can’t imagine typing a 2,000 word report on a micro keyboard on your smart-phone as being a comfortable task.

Re: Will Mobile Devices Kill The PC?

I say no way. First most mobile devices can't multitask and no flash that there will kill the deal of them taking over. You also have the fact that you need hard drive space. The mini cards on the mobile phones and the smaller hard drives on the ipad type of products. Speed is also a issue with the mobile devices. As much as I love my mobile devices they will never replace my PC. For the record I own: a smartphone (android), archos5 media tablet, net book, laptop and a PC and those are MY personal devices. I love my devices but its no PC.

Re: Will Mobile Devices Kill The PC?
Hi, Aaron - Thanks for posting. I think this is a possibilty in the near future. We went from vinyl records to 8 Tracks to Cassette tapes to cds to mp3 players all in a very short time span - I think the phones could eventually do "most" of the things we now do on the pc - but probably not everything. Like Smartmom, I have a Droid and I have discovered I can do most of the things I do on my pc on it. Time will tell........

Re: Will Mobile Devices Kill The PC?
Maybe in the distant future, but for now I'd have to say no, typing on those tiny keys like you say is not a comfortable task, and it takes so much more extra time too. I think the PC is here to stay for a considerable amount of time anyway.

Re: Will Mobile Devices Kill The PC?

I think it will replace some communications and a lot of multimedia functions, but one thing people never seem to take into account is size. Screens, keyboards are just too small. For awhile cell phones were getting smaller and smaller til they were dang near the size of a tic-tac box. But those have all disappeared for the most part, and the sizes have started to get a little bit larger to fit a larger screen. Things like games, like MMO's for example will never be played on on stuff so small. A player on something like that would be at a great disadvantage.
All that said, if the technology with the cell phone projectors and virtual keyboards continue to skyrocket, I could see it possible.
