‘WSJ: The iPhone may become Obsolete like the Walkman and the Polaroid Camera
Filed in the duh category … don’t all products become obsolete? Isn’t it really only … when … and on that I think WSJ might have made their predictions a little too early.

Steve Giovannetti This would have been a better article if you replace “iPhone“ with “smartphone”.
💬 John Philpin @gio wonder when a watch is going to be described as a smart phone?
Steve Giovannetti Having made calls from my watch while paddling my Kayak. I’d say you could make the case. Text input is still problematic. Composing anything longer than a txt message is really impractical. But they used to say that about phones.
💬 John Philpin @pratik well given that a smart phone is rarely used as 'a phone’ - I think you might be right.
💬 John Philpin @gio have you tried dictating the messages to the watch? i find it understands me better than my phone.
Steve Giovannetti It’s not bad for me either. I would feel odd dictating a long message, particularly in public.
Steve Giovannetti I had a Tandy PC 1 (Pocket Computer) in high school. It only had a 40 character single line display but it did have a full keyboard.
Ron Chester Better trademark it right away. Except someone else probably already did.
💬 John Philpin @gio well yes there is that. I’m one of those people that leaves restaurants to stand in the street to have a phone call / so dictating texts in public is not a natural for me either.
💬 John Philpin @gio lovely ... I had a psion ... tho I was outta school by then ..
