Yeah, it's terrible what smart phones have done to computing. They're such incapable, weak computers with such bad networking and user interface that all software is being dumbed down and gimped to act as a crutch for their users.

Random round trip time combined with the energy storage limitations of the radio modem mean tcp back-off and inability to actually hold open a port (if they even have a routable ipv4!). But somehow that's everyone else's problem, not the smart phone's.
