if you are US-based, get out of the country to learn more about mobile computing.
phones are getting smarter, and now their OS are now a lot more accessible, laptops on the other hand aren't getting much smarter, but rather smaller.
if you go to Korea, Japan, India, several South American & African countries, you will understand why mobile is a heckuva lot more important than laptop.
it's not a UI conundrum -- a mobile phone (with the exception of the iPhone)'s primary purpose is communication -- voice, sms, mms and now even photo & video.

not so with a laptop.
