"I use my mobile phone exclusively for email and internet."
why?
"I have privacy on my phone and it's the only thing I can use at school and at home."
Huh. Makes sense.
But when these students get older, and aren't as concerned about privacy from their parents, and aren't restricted from using other devices by school rules, I suspect they will adopt the device appropriate for the task at hand -- just like older folks do now.
Maybe tablets as a separate product are going to be more niche but I personally don't see it. But one thing I'm fairly sure of, as long as people have to type long things, a real keyboard is indispensable. I'm not sure what the 2030 Macbook Air will be, but i feel pretty confident that it (or similar) will be.
