re: mobiles can be usefully 'perform light productivity tasks'

Here's my problem with the above statement:

So I'm going into my home office, and I think "I've only got some light productivity work to do, I think I'll grab my tablet". Uh oh later my 'light' work starts getting more complicated. I'd like to switch to my desktop/notebook, but I've already got things started on this tablet so I think "maybe I can tough it out and get this thing done with the tablet". Maybe I do get it done but in the end I'm dissatisfied with my productivity on this task. Next time I think I'll just start all my productivity tasks on my desktop/laptop.

Of course this is anecdotal but it has actually happened enough times that I now leave my tablet in my theater and using it for reading message boards and emails occasionally (although I actually prefer my iPhone for this) and letting my grandson play games on it.
