Ah ok, thanks. This makes more sense now.

But on a seconds thought - there are people who really "work" on phone? I just can't do anything serious from phone be it native app or web app. The experience is so much worse for me that it didn't even cross my mind it's about phones.

Not all the incredible, to be honest. Apple has pushed the iPad as a laptop replacement, and that was well before it got the desktop-ish features it has now.
