Smartphones Becoming Computer of Choice in Developing Countries

An anonymous reader writes "The build-out of 3G networks in developing countries, plus ultra-low prices from the likes of Samsung, will make the smartphone the sole computer of millions of citizens worldwide. And by 2016, 97 percent of smartphones are expected to use touchscreens. Now, don't get me wrong — I carry an iPad and an iPod Touch in my backpack and love touchscreens — but I still like a phone that fits in my pocket. However, I'm going to be in the minority five years from now, when the majority of wireless communicators will be smartphones."

Re:Plenty of smartphones fit in your pocket.

My pockets in my jeans can fit a 7" tablet without much issue.

I have never understood what people complain about with their tiny 3.5" phone.

Most of the space in mine is taken up by my 14 inch dick.
