Yes, but it starts out with the assumption that the devices have the same function, which they don't. In a similar vain, a laptop will not replace either.

It's a bit surreal.

You can now bring all this information and entertainment with you and it takes up less space and weight than any 2 textbooks I used at uni and people are concerned about an extra half kilo in-case they can't make up their mind if they want to play console games or watch TV that day on the train.

Of course their phone can do all these things as well but they need the bigger screen or something.

Reminds me of the people who think we'll be able to plug our phones into a dock and have a portable pc everywhere, there will always be trade offs.

If you can't admit there is a huge overlap between mobile touch screen devices your are just being silly.

Have you replaced you phone with your tablet/laptop or visa-versa? They're all mobile touch screens.

Of course. I used to use my laptop all the time to browse at the couch or watch netflix in bedroom. Now I just use my phone for those purposes.
