Is a laptop more than just a portable desktop computer?
Take a look at this post. Peter raises some interesting points. From a cultural standpoint, the laptop has evolved well past just being a portable desktop replacement.
“Now that laptops outsell desktops, it’s worth treating them as interesting and distinct entities that warrant special consideration as a mobile device. What, say, are the tools for the working-at-coffeehouse types? For the airplane commuters, the road warriors, the college students, etc.? What makes sense for a laptop to have that would have never made sense in a desktop? Why don’t we have location-awareness built into laptops?”
From Jambo’s perspective the laptop is, of course, a mobile device. We are creating a tool for these new mobile users which adds a social dimension to laptop usage and to public hotspots.
