The Plastic Phone and Computer
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/03/18/8gb-iphone-5c_n_4984893.html
Obviously, a metallic smart phone is going to be more durable, but a plastic phone can be a nice secondary communications unit.
The smart phone, is usually a phone first & a computer 2nd.
A nice hybrid is on the way.

The handset vs the wrist.
A wearable computer that could also become a phone.

A super-plastic or polymer could eventually rival some metallic things.

A Logic Named Joe (1946) A.I. story
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Logic_Named_Joe March 1946
Murray Leinster's 1946 short story "A Logic Named Joe" contains one of the first descriptions of a computer (called a "logic") in fiction. In the story, Leinster was decades ahead of his time in imagining the Internet. He envisioned logics in every home, linked through a distributed system of servers (called "tanks"), to provide communications, entertainment, data access, and commerce; one character says that "logics are civilization."

Joe is an interesting interpretation of AI in the 1940s.
There is a logic company, but its not directly related to A.I. research & development.
