I hope I don't need to point out the failed logic there to anyone here on the first point.

On the second, mozilla has already answered with a yet unmade concept phone. Flip down stand, keyboard projector on one side, screen projector on the other. With cloud based apps (gag) and dual 1.5 Ghz processors slated for next year. I think he made some critical assumptions based on vendor research and lacking some rather critical information.

That pretty much eliminates the "you don't want to use your phone to type" complaint.

4:02 PM EST 		For me as a Web-focused journalist, I can tell you that all the heat out there is focused on smartphones and tablets — in short, anything that can be delivered in a monetizable "app" to a consuming public not completely averse to the notion of possibly, eventually, someday paying for content.

Mobile is growing like crazy. Desktop, not so much.
