For most people a computer and a phone are a must... you have to have them. For one thing to sync your itunes etc. Computers and smart phones save you money.

Agree for the most part. I often say that between my phone, personal PC, and iPad, I use my ipad the most by far. But it's also the first device I would give up if I needed to give one up. It's a definite luxury item.

The corollary to this is that a second PC is also a luxury. Where my family once had 3 laptops in additional to a media server desktop, we are now down to one barely-used computer and 3 iPads. This is the future as I see it. One PC per household, replaced every 6 years. In its heyday, the consumer PC market was selling 200m units a year. It's come down to 100m units a year now and probably has another 50m a year to drop. Enterprise is another story, of course.
