The Myth of Mobile Computing (2013)

"At the same time, they have no desire to ensure that a two-year old device is as functional as the day you bought it."

Android devices, at least, can be rooted and your two-year old device could still enjoy the latest, vanilla Lollipop. Hmm...

"They've taken the sales of mobile devices and made an assumption - everyone wants mobile and people aren't buying PCs."

Yes, I can see a decline in PC sales, but then again saying people aren't buying PC,s IMO, are completely ignorant: - Photographers/video editors use their Macs to edit photos/videos. - Gamers play GTA V or Mordor 2 on PC (or console). - Programmers write mobile apps on PC. - etc

Mobile devices are getting powerful nowadays, and sure it's like having a small, pocketable laptop. That's why most people (including myself) love it.

On the other hand, I'm still not sure how you'd write apps on it. Smartphones? No. Tablets? Ummm probably.
