Your response to critique of a website's design is to question what use an entire industry is outside of entertainment when pooping. Its estimated that ~50m tablets were shipped worldwide in Q1 2013.

If you really want to understand why the PC industry is drowning and mobile is on the rise, go out into the world an interact with the people using these devices. The answer will be obvious at that point.

I mistakenly thought we were strictly talking about phones, not tablets. It's somewhat less perplexing to me with tablets.

I've done that, but I still don't get it. That said, I only really have close interaction with 2 people who use tablets (AFAIK). I see that with a tablet the screen is big enough to not be a pain. Isn't the on-screen keyboard a pain, though? Does it work just well enough to type URLs and fill out web forms? Or does it work well enough that people don't really care about not having a real keyboard?
