Time to add some life to this part of the forum~!
Let's face it; phones have evolved from their original purpose of just being able to call people. Now you can text people. And activate your social media from your phone. And play games. And use emulators. My point is, they've kind of become computers in a way. Computers for younger people, it seems, more so than for the demographic of older people. While all this technology is readily available and can be used, my question to Hongfire this time happens to be; what do you use your phone for? Or do you not have a phone at all?
Personally, I use my iPod as a phone (TextFree makes life so much easier when I can't get my hands on a phone), but I really use my iPod as a laptop half the time and it works fairly well (I have to do that because my laptop is kind of sort of very much garbage). I find it convenient to have everything I'd use my computer for readily available in the palm of my hand. I wish some things were better, but then I always remember that I have my laptop for those type of things.
