Mobile (smart) phone has become a real new "personal computer".
A funny thing is that main feature of such device is the screen, not the phone.
It is really a "communicator" device and smart assistant.
But "phone" part was critical for adoption, since it is a familiar metaphor,
and it enabled easy financing: purchasing $700 phone is easy $100 down payment,
and purchasing $700 PC (or laptop) is usually "real" purchase.
Could screen (and large battery) decouple from this personal communicator device?
Even more, could "personal" data and apps become a container that can swap shell device?
