For the past 3 years I have been using my iPhone alot and more recently my Android smartphone as well. I have pretty reached the point where my I carry only my laptop and my smartphone for work and travel.

The laptop has become my main computing platform for all but my heavy duty tasks. However my smartphone is my main workhorse. I check mail, status updates, send pictures, do documents, read news, listen to music, play games, share information, make calls, watch movies, and make blog posts among many other things. Having owned other smartphones I want to be clear that my iPhone has been hands done the most to change my portable computing habits. I like Android too but it's quite frankly not as slick nor easy to use yet. Both sets of devices are in my opinion far better overall than blackberry or Microsoft phones I have used.

I am amazed at how productive and plugged in I have become thanks to these new devices. They are very user friendly, powerful and flexible than prior generations. Their portability also makes them really attractive since they are lightweight and less bulky than either laptops or netbooks.

Personally and professiionally speaking I am looking forward to the future generations of these devices and how their innovations improve the quality of my professional career.
