Nah, it makes sense. The things you want to be switched are things don't power themselves off. Powered speakers are a good example. Your monitor doesn't need to be switched because it will already go into powersave mode when you shut suspend your PC.
I'd prefer one master plug for the computer with battery protection, one switched plug with battery protection, one switched without, one unswitched with battery protection and one unswitched without. Some monitors have exterior power bricks that don't suck power when they're not doing anything and you'd want battery protection and switching on a watercooling system.
The phone has 256MB of RAM and a 1GHz processor, which do the job reasonably well, though the Anna interface will likely leave something to be desired for many smartphone users.

It's an odd choice that it looks like none of the switched outlets have battery back-up. You wouldn't want to plug your monitor into one of those.
