"No, No they're really not, unless all you do with your PC is surf the net and read email."
Or do word processing, data entry, basic spreadsheets, and a variety of other common tasks that don't actually need much processing power. For the average home user, a phone has more than enough computing power for everything they do except gaming. For the average office worker, a phone has more than enough computing power for the vast majority of things they'll need to do. There are plenty of things that need much more power than a phone will ever have, but that doesn't mean there aren't still plenty of situations where a phone with a decent screen and keyboard/mouse interface is more than enough to do the job at hand.
