They're advertising a phone which has a numberless physical keyboard as being great for working on spreadsheets.

Is that from an ad? That IS hilarious, those cells are so small you'd need a microscope to see them and a Borrower to interact with them. Why are they miniscule?

If nothing has changed from the last I heard of the Blackberry franchise, the platform is a sinking ship and has been for years. They came out with a new model recently and it flopped. Hence you are bound to get weird ads like "use Google spreadsheets on your phone that is smaller than a calculator! Something, anything!"

Somebody is going to invent a stand-alone computer designed to sit on a desk, with a large screen and separate keyboard. Smartphone users will be amazed at this new device and buy them by the millions.

I keep a budget spreadsheet on Google Drive. Once in a while on my train to work I think, hey, let me update my spreadsheet, I have a half hour to just sit here, let me take care of it. I usually spend the entire half hour trying to enter in three or four numbers and dates. I typically just give up.

Like literally the only use would be an "Oh poo poo X is wrong on the spreadsheet and I need to give a presentation in 10 minutes but I forgot to bring that laptop that work requires me to carry pretty much everywhere" moment, I guess.

For architects and mortgage brokers, imagine being able to look at full designs and schematics on the go, and still being able to handle piles of virtual paperwork with ease.
In the healthcare field, picture being able to go through x-rays or medical documentation in the office with a patient, on a device that can maintain the necessary security standards for HIPAA compliance.
In the area of finance, how about navigating your Web-based trading platform on your device? With enough screen real estate, you can clearly see the fluctuation in your stock and determine whether it’s time to sell.
Writers will truly be unlocked with a navigable keyboard, while the large square screen enables faster content development and delivery. When you are looking to type stories or notes, your virtual keyboard doesn’t cover most of your screen.

I'm sorry, but seriously is this the actual selling point of this device? Is, literally anyone actually doing any actual excel work on a cellphone? My entire job is based almost exclusively around excel and data analyzing and I've never had to "emergency" edit a spreadsheet on any device I've ever owned.

Now this guy has the right idea for solving the problem

There is a good reason for them doing that. If everyone starts calling videogames a nintendo, they could lose their trademark. I've seen one from Xerox at my work. That said, it's still funny.

This reminds me of a Photoshop Phriday (I think) from years ago where mom's interpret video games and one of the Xbox games is labelled Nintendo. Makes me laugh every time because that's literally what my mom refers any and all video game related things as.

Much like Sydney pidgies. We had one who'd come into our cage and clean our floors of crumbs. He was missing a foot. We called him Stumpy :3
When I moved on to a bar in the same area a similar looking bird also missing a foot came into the beer garden to clean also. I figured he was Stumpy's brother, I christened him Fred.
Ah memories. At least they didn't swoop like drat magpies.

He's a homing pidgeon. He just followed you.
