It doesn't need it, as far as you think the phone is just a phone.
If you think that small slab of power on your pocket is a computer with
- GPS location
- Local maps
- Music player
- Knowledge navigator (yes!)
- Videogame :oD
- Remote control of my media player
- Portable telephone
Now you can see it needs it. Of course you can live without all of
that. But it makes my life WAY easier.
I only borrow one to keep from getting lost in shopping malls.
As a side issue is software better than hardware? Other than the fact that
Zillions of users have to share the same signal could have it been done
just in analog the phone and communications part. I like to be away from
the computer most of the time. The only real high tech item I have is a
Kindle
(I just use the PC for mail, surfing and few low power games - 386 stuff).
and that is to read a few books away from my computer. Novels rather
than say data books. It is too hard to use the kindle for a large PDF like
The TTL data book for design ... .
Ben.
(but I bet my iPhone has more processing power
than these
machines) :o)
But why does a phone need it?
