Developing world
Thing is if you were to only have *one* computing device, you would get a smartphone. Basically it works as a phone, can be used on wifi (i.e. broadband) or without (using mobile data, probably at some cost), and does most of what folk want from a PC (messaging, web look-up, pointless social media, etc) as well mobile-specific stuff like satnav functionality. And it fits easily in your pocked/handbag/sporran/etc.
Sure other forms are better in many ways, such as screen size or easier typing, etc. But if you have limitations on your budget a phone seems the way to go.
