How Apple's iPhone Will Change the Laptop Industry

I liked reading this article, but I think the author misses the point of a portable device. If the iPhone works like it plans on working I look forward to owning one right away. But it will not cause me to do away with my laptop.

I've used a Blackberry for several years. When the 8700 came out (color) and it had a brisk enough internet connection where I could do google searches, etc. quickly and effectively. When I need my laptop I pull it out. But I will still use both - when appropriate or needed.

Now if in the future I could have the same power of my MacBookPro or my tablet pc, where I could hook up a keyboard, mouse, external 15" monitor, etc. then...maybe then... I'll go down to one device and laptop manufacturers will be in danger.
