I'm a proponent of a device that you never take off. It needs to be waterproof, comfortable, and robust. If that's true then people can design assuming that it's always with you.
I don't think this is a pipe dream.
- bigiain 14y agoI'm hoping the Pebble Watch will be at least a step in that direction. I'm planning to downgrade to a not-very-smart Android phone to replace my iPhone when my Pebble arrives - with the intention of the phone being mainly to make and recieve calls, send text messages, and provide internet access to the watch and my tablet. I suspect the watch and a tablet between them will do everything my smartphone does, but better - apart, of course, from making calls(though I have been known to use Skype on the iPad via shared-over-wifi 3G internet from the phone in my pocket). I doubt it exists right now, but I'm imagining a tiny phone (the size of an old Nokia 3210 or a Sony Erickson 8210), with Siri-style voice recognition to deal with text messaging, and maybe a decent-enough camera. Preferably with a week-long battery life.

- ChuckMcM 14y agoThe speech thing will be key I think. I'd be happy to be able to ask my virtual assistance to make calls for me like that.
- xk_id 14y agoI have already downgraded to a Blackberry Curve 9360, because of getting an iPad. I mostly use it for texting and calling. I really think you're right, at least to me smartphones stopped making sense after I got an iPad. Thanks for the shared-over-wifi 3G internet tip – can't believe I never thought of it.
