Desktops Obsolete?

In a presentation in Dublin, Ireland in March 2010, Google sales chief Jim Haley stated that desktops would be irrelevant in three years (SiliconRepublic.com). Smartphones, notebooks, and the amount of information available online will converge to create a different kind of future than what we’ve known, according to Haley. Do you agree? Why or why not? What impact would that have on the types of hardware and software that are the most in demand? I believe it won't be irrevlevant, but I do believe smartphones and labtops will be in higher demand. You can rebuild and add on a lot to a desktop, that you can't necessarly do on a laptop or a tablet. For people who do a lot of gaming, or major networking computers used in businesses need a lot of space and speed on a computer that can always be added on to like a desktop. A laptop may be fast but it can't have as much space added to it as a desktop can. Smartphones are in high demand and a lot of people use them for work, but I think a desktop is more reliable. A phone and a notebook are easy to lose but a desktop and kind of hard to misplace. Notebooks and smartphones make working and networking a lot more mobile and convient, but I feel a desktop is a lot more reliable.
