I merely suggested what to do, you'll, of course, do what you like.
I mean… Phones can vibrate too, and thus you can use them as sex toys. I still suggest to use them only for phoning and not something other gadgets do 100 times better.
sorry joxer, but you couldn't be more short sighted.
Smartphones and tablets have changed the way I'm able to do business.
I can keep the entire contents of my office on my smartphone. No more "let me get back to the office and check", no more having my truck littered with plans, blueprints, files and folders. just a phone on my belt clip and a tablet in the center console.
I can send pictures to customers or subcontractors so they know exactly what I want and if need be I can skype, facetime or google hangout so I can show them just as if I was standing right next to them.
I can do invoicing or bids on the go or just walk through a job and give a customer a bid immediately instead of it taking a couple days to get back to them.
I can email, check email, send receive documents schedule jobs by using my calendar ( instead of having to check on my pc when I get back to the office)
I can research new technologies and even watch videos on new products as I'm using them to ensure I'm up to date and I can send these videos to employees or subcontractors to keep them up to date as well.
I can do everything I can on my PC and do it in the field. I would estimate I save 15-20 hours a week this way. Hours I can use gaming on my PC ( this is the one spot I'll agree with you)
I also have kidney disease. I use my phone to track everything I eat or drink, exercise and blood pressures and my doctor has a day to day record of what I'm doing to help him better treat me.
In my personal life they are great for keeping track of appointments, birthdays, get together, etc. Yes my PC can do this but it's not with me all the time.
They also take great pictures off my kids that I can send instantly to family. I use an app to track my kids so I know where they are and they know where I am in case of an emergency. GPS is invaluable for personal and business.
I could give you 100's of uses but I've typed enough.
If your only looking at smartphones and tablets as a phone or gaming device you are really missing the boat.
