What is the real benefit of a smart phone? Other than an office suite, is there any real app noteworthy?
Max asked:
What makes a smart phone so superior to non-os phones… they all can run google apps and other java based applications.. I am curious as to why they are so hyped… At the end of the day all I see is only the office suites like documents to go or quick office that one can really call apps… Or am I mistaken?

iPhone has 75,000 apps in its catalog. Of course, 70,000 of them are useless (fart and flashlight apps) but even if 5,000 are good imagine the possibilties. cyg
