[DiapDealer]

I still specialize. I sit in a chair in front of a PC and type, and program, and browse the internet, and send email. I read ebooks on a dedicated ereader. I have a stereo system I play CDs on, and a DVD player I watch movies with. I have no computing/movie/music needs when I'm away from my home, so I have no mobile computing equipment—smart, dumb or otherwise (except when my ereader leaves the house, which is almost never).

I'm very much a number 2 with regard to your question. But not because of any best "deal" or the longevity of different devices. It's just what works for me and I feel no pressure to change.
