I like dedicated devices. Give me an eInk reader for books. Give me a tablet for running apps on the go. Give me a desktop computer for doing real work. Give me a phone for making phone calls and sending texts. Give me a laptop for ... well, I can't think of much use for a laptop these days (maybe if you travel for work).
I have no use for these supposed Jack-Of-All-Trades smartphones that are as big as a school bus. You can't conveniently carry them. I think people look like idiots with that large screen plastered to your ear trying to make a phone call. I've been known to take my Fire HD8 tablet and put it up to my ear and pretend I'm making a phone call. That doesn't even get laughs anymore ... people think it's really a smartphone that huge, some have asked even where they could get one! I'm thinking that in the near future I may need to disconnect and carry my 29" computer monitor to my ear to even get a second glance.
