Seriously, if Apple’s implementation of the smartphone can spark a flurry of similar implementations by traditional phone makers, then I think that one of the major PC makers (NO, not Dell or HP) should buy one of the smartphone makers.

Why?

Because a PC maker could envision a smartphone as being more of a smaller-sized laptop, and could both design and build it – hardware-wise – to handle alot of what is often left to laptops/notebooks to handle.

This would take the smartphone from being a simple “phone + email and text” to a simple “mobile desktop computer + phone;” clearly, the smartphone makers are focusing on the former, while Apple, a desktop maker, is focusing on the latter.
