Sounds like you don't get it. And I'm not being facetious.

Well, maybe a little.

Just because something can be done doesn't necessarily mean it should be done, does it? This is not a commentary on the iPhone as a computer, but about products in general.

Lots of things have general purpose computer parts, but serve a very specific purpose. What did Steve Jobs pitch the iPhone as again? A phone, an iPod, and an internet communicator? I don't remember "personal computer" being one of those things.

So yes, this is the thing that Apple wants to make. And I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
