The question must be asked is: What is the future of mobile technologies with respect to notebooks and netbooks?
Constantly are emerging new products and types of small laptops. Some of these notebooks come with touch screens, which can be used like a tablet PC. Such products are now seeing the light in the markets and in the coming years we will see them more often. But smart phones are now occupying the same niche that notebooks because they incorporate similar characteristics.
In general, these phones still have a high price, although are falling continuously, and are really comfortable to carry in your pocket and are multifunctional. The companies that design applications for smart phones can incorporate many strategies designed for traditional computers in their future products. At the same time, some notebook manufactures are partnering with mobile phone companies to include mobile technology in their products.
On the other hand we must take into account that mobility is very important and people want to be able to access applications and data anytime and anywhere, so maybe one day the competition from smart phones is so strong that traditional computer that we use will be obsolete.
