Well, if you're at your desk, you have your desktop computer.
If you're out in the field, your phone is most useful as a phone--
why thumbtype queries when you can just call someone back
at the ranch for the answer?
There is, however, a burgeoning subfield of ERP using mobile
phones. It's called mobile vendor relationship management (mVRM).
For a too-bitter-by-half treatment of the subject:

What can I say? I was having a bad day, or maybe
it was that time of month. Or maybe I'm a consultant.
(Probably all three.)
