From a Few Pounds to a Few Ounces: Time to Leave the Laptop Behind?

Nick Wingfield (Wall Street Journal, October 27) asks if for many of us now is the Time to Leave the Laptop Behind thanks to the smaller, better, lighter Blackberries, I Phones and more recently the G1.

Since I switched from my very old Nokia to a Blackberry Curve earlier this year, I get my e-mail on the go of course.
I would not say that I read many news websites on it due to its lack of real estate (small screen).

I can write short stories as they happen and post it to this blog.
I can take pictures without carrying a digital camera.
I can Twitter.
It might not give me the same flexibility that a laptop or a desktop offers.
It does fit in my pocket and will not strain my back though.
Using a tool like a smart phone with some limitations might me a blessing in disguise.
It might even teach us one virtue: how to be concise?
