That's one theory Kyros: <In a stalled world economy, those discretionary sales will evaporate. > But in fact, Smartphone sales are booming and journalists have belatedly discovered the fact. They act surprised.

People are finding that Cyberphone/Netbook buying is not really a discretionary purchase. They HAVE to have one to keep their job, get one, communicate, and get information where and when they need it.

Saying a cyberphone is discretionary is like saying seeing and hearing are discretionary. Yes, they are, in a theoretical Buddhist way, "I came back as an Earthworm", but to be human is to do a bit more than be a deaf, dumb and blind Earthworm, feeling our way
around.
