If you’re leading the meeting you can take your notes in with you and if you need to make notes during the proceedings you won’t need to annoy your colleagues by tapping on a laptop keyboard. Some modern phones offer this functionality but often with less features and to the detriment of battery life.

Stacked up beside your keyboard is never the right answer. If it’s actually been a week since you needed to staple something, why is that stapler still next to your phone? Find other homes for papers you don’t need anymore. Cluttered desks usually develop over time.

In the future, according to the Sci fi movies and shows I’ve seen, people type on a keyboard and instead of seeing things on a two dimensional screen, one screen at a time, they grab the information and throw it up in the air where it levitates in front of them, in 3d. The idea is to be able to balance those. How do you do that?

The phone should be on the desk as near to your keyboard and computer screen as possible. I once made the mistake of having my phone at one end of my desk to my computer screen so I had plenty of room around me, but obviously I couldn’t look anything up while I was on the phone. I wasn’t that silly for long!

As a secretary I typed letters, answered the phone and did the filing. New executives are computer savvy and are comfortable on a keyboard. An assistant would often be the professional gatekeeper as to who gets in to see the boss and how quickly they get to speak to them on the phone. Why hire an assistant?

I am not a big fan of touch screen keyboards as they are not a true QWERTY keyboard. The touch screen keyboard won’t give you a fast typing rate because you have to type with one finger versus all 10. If you don’t have it with you, whip out your cell phone and send yourself a text message or email.

I enjoyed having a full QWERTY keyboard without all of the keys, in such compact form factor. However, neither the HTC myTouch nor the Samsung Behold 2 have a keyboard. A keyboard is a necessity for me, especially given that I have big thumbs and I like the tactile feel of keys. These were all multi-touch devices.

The form factor of a smartphone is far smaller than a computer, the ability to type quickly is hindered on the tiny keyboard, and a smartphone really cant act as a hub as much as a computer can.
