Convergence: First our iPhone, now our furniture?

A phone. An internet communicator. A widescreen iPod. That' how Steve Jobs introduced the iPhone, and since then one little device in my hand has gone on to replace so many single-purpose, single-tasking gadgets I'm starting to lose count. The iPhone is basically my mobile office in the palm of my hand. Apple didn't invent that, of course, but the smartphone category in general has really blazed a trail to a convergent, multitasking future that few other things have followed.
