That's so generic it could simply refer to laptops and not smartphones or tablets. Btw I don't know why people think Smartphones are so innovative, they simply are evolved versions of PDAs that we started to have already in the 90s. The "future" was already out there for a long time, it just took many steps to reach an optimal form.

I think "telephone" here referred mainly to landlines. Mobile phones were rare in 1985, and completely analog.
> Jobs: The developments will be in making the products more and more portable, networking them, getting out laser printers, getting out shared data bases, getting out more communications ability, maybe the merging of the telephone and the personal computer.
