Sure, happy to clarify. Let me first add back in the original context of the statement: Alan gave this example of compiling, doing mails and browsing at the *same* time. Obviously, the focus is on compiling here :) doing mails and browsing are just other tasks being executed at the same time. Now mail and browsing are certainly perfectly fine to be done on a phone. However, the scenario of compiling, checking mails and browsing in parallel (as in overlapping windowed mode) is not something very typically carried out in a mobile device usage scenario. The key point is: compiling would require uninterrupted execution in the background while switching from terminal to browser to mail client. Mail and browsing would still work, no problem with that. But: the full-blown scenario mentioned before is more of a desktop-ish use-case, which can happily be powered by the phone in docked mode. It's just a difference usage scenario.
