Android is also on a path to take over desktops and laptops. A new Galaxy
Smart Dock allows your Android phone to become a desktop computer by
connecting an HD monitor, external storage, USB keyboard and mouse for
just $99. Now an Android phone can also be your entire desktop computer.
Hardware will only get better and cheaper and the Android OS is free.




I think that phones are powerful enough to do what most people need.  And I say that as I'm checking e-mail because I'm waiting for packages to build on my phone.  I'm not sure that Android will be the winner there, it's a big transition to go to desktop use-cases, just like it's hard to go the other way as well.  The trend to convergence is clear though.



Here's a nice video on it that you can send to non-technical friends:
