I would like to point out that things are invented to bring about change or to assist to a particular end. If for most people Smartphones is the way to go someone will invent ways in which we can still accomplish some of the things we use computers for, using other means. Remember the human mind is dynamic and innovative, I am blown away at what people are coming up with everyday to work with Smartphones...be open minded and embrace the future....Coz no one knew Facebook in 2001...Now 700+ million people use it.

Totally useless statistics. if you ranked the phones by OS, that would do better. or PC vs Laptops...

Tony D, 09 Feb 2011That's like saying Frozen chickens outsell Bicycles. They are unrelated. People buy ph... moreSmartphones these days can perform many of the functions of a computer. Ever since I got a smartphone, I have been using my computer less and less because things I used to do with my computer, I can also do with my phone. Granted that the phone does not completely replace the PC, these statistics are interesting in that more and more people have many of the PC's capabilities on a mobile device.

They are unrelated.
People buy ph... moreI agree with u; besides whats the point in comparing smartphones with computers!? Smartphones would never be able to handle the things a PC (Desktop/Laptop) can achieve, like: playing intensive graphic games (COD, AC2, etc...) or handle engineering software (AutoCAD, MatLAB) or many other stuff. I think the only good thing a smartphone can do almost as equal as a PC is web surfing and check emails!!!.
Keep in mind also that most people buy a PC and keep them like for 5 or even 8 years!! with them before changed it; while others don't buy a whole PC but just simple upgrade some parts (CPU, RAM, HDD, VGA). That's not the case with smarthpones, many people changed them in 1 or 2 years, even in months!!! and they have to buy a WHOLE smartphone because u can't upgrade them in parts like changing the SUPER LCD for an SUPER AMOLED xD.
So I really don't get the point of this IDC report... pretty pointless and useless

They are unrelated.
People buy phones for a different reason than computers. Or even if some of them don't it's still a totally pointless survey, because you need to know how many people bought a phone INSTEAD of a computer and how many people bought a computer INSTEAD of a phone.
This whole survey is statistically pointless
