That analogy makes no sense. "standalone applications" running on what? a non-smart phone? that would make the phone smart.

I think the humorous type of "standalone application" in this analogy would be a physical camera, a physical address book etc.

But right after that they say "or other devices". So my question is: Where is this standalone application, that can apparently do what a smartphone does, running on? It's apparently not an "other device".
