This seems to be a growing sentiment, perhaps in response to the enormity of modern smartphones. They're no longer a convenience but a payload.
Check out the variety of standalone smart watches coming out of China now, some even run full Android 5. I'm thinking of one which could act as a 3G-to-wifi hotspot for a tablet for when I do need to work on the go. That also gives much more flexibility in selecting a tablet without a SIM.
- nextos 10y agoThanks. Some examples?
- grahamburger 10y agoThis is exactly what I've wanted for years, seems like we're finally getting there! Do you know of one with Wi-Fi hotspot capability?
- rahimnathwani 10y agoContinuously running the 3G/4G connection and sharing it over wifi would run down the batter pretty quickly. Watches need small batteries so they can fit on your wrist.
- grahamburger 10y agoSure, I wouldn't want to use it all the time. Just occasionally when I need to pull out my tablet or laptop or whatever.
