I don't need a good camera, a good keyboard, or a full browser when
moving about and mediocre sound is fine for my podcasts. But I love
having a small utility right there in my shirt pocket that can do many
things adequately. I wouldn't dream of typing even moderately long texts
like this one that way, but for a simple "me too" or something, who
cares?

The camera is fine for taking meter readings without having to type or
find paper and pencil. The browser suffices for checking a definition in
Wikipedia. I have better things, but I don't want to lug them around.
