I'm just pissed that by the time I can afford something neat and buy it, then they introduce something neater. At least I have my iPod.

If the Ipod touch was available in 1992, it would have costed $3.2 million lol
kinda gives you an idea how technology has changed and dropped in price.

We're discussing technology getting smaller, not, well, other things. Very Happy

He said obsolescence not adolescence.

I'm waiting till my phone, ipod, camera, etc can all be worn on my wrist like a watch...or just in an earbud that I wear.

Currently I have all of those in a holster on my hip...but I keep leaning on it and taking random pictures while strange music plays.

Thanks Ages.

Currently my phone, watch, camera, and mp3 player are all the same device. It could fit on my wrist if I had the right strap.

I'd say that day is coming soon.

voice activation alone would reduce the amount of space needed for the user interface and after that it pretty much would fit perfectly on your wrist

MP3 player version is available (about $50) in the US.

The only one I've seen with a phone in it (a couple years ago) still cost almost $3k without a plan.

All-in-all...that's better than my phone.
My camera is slightly better, and mine has address/e-mail functions...but still pretty cool...and cheaper than the one I have.

Might have to take another look at them when my contract is up next year.

A couple of weekends ago I took my daughter to Movie Village on Osborne, we picked up a DVD rental of one of the seasons of Get Smart. After 40 years my 10 year old still loved every minute of it.
