Every few years someone looks back and laughs at whatever devices we had then. Now people mock pagers and lower model iPhones. We will forever be evolving and people will always mock whatever came before but you need to understand that every single technology featured on Computer Chronicles made way for every piece of technology we have today. Now, I may be showing my 90’s kid personality but I loved anything colorful and see through, especially stuff with added in effects like glitter. Even if it had of been complete junk, I would have been the sucker to buy it just for the way it looks. I would love to see cell phones have designs like that today but it’s always just white or black phones with whatever case you end up getting.

No wifi on my Compaq IPaq and file transfer by cradle and cable and infra red to another PDA. The Sony ''a fantastic phone". Well yes I suppose it was. I had a long Nokia with tiny screen at that time and thought it was really 'the future'. Its battery actually lasted two to three days between charges, which is better than most today, but its screen was monochrome.

This is as he was being asked by the audience why NeXT (his company then) wasn't making portable computing devices. His response was that chip technology just wasn't invented yet to make that happen in any meaningful way so he wasn't even going to try to enter that with a poor performing product destined to fail. Indeed, he kept his word when he came to Apple later. It wasn't until much later that chip technology got to the point of offering true mobile usability.

Funny when they're discussing examples of Bluetooth's use cases and neither seems to even imagine wireless headphones, wireless speakers, or wireless mice. I guess that goes to show that technology often gets used in ways even its inventors couldn't foresee.

Did he just say "smart cell phones" ? So this guy basically coined smartphone back in 2001 !

I can't see them being called smartphones for much longer as younger people just call them phones. The "smart" element isn't needed as nobody has any use for non-smart phones.

@@purrbox7514 there are still a lot of voip phones in offices that are very different from smart phones. Cisco phones are very popular in workplaces. "phone" is ambiguous if not still suggesting a landline or voip phone.

Back in 2001, I was an IT major in college. Of course I had my own PDA, the Compaq Aero 1500 series. My main companion, until one of my colleagues showed off his shiny new iPaq (the same model demonstrated). A much faster, better screen device, which was much more multi media capable than my Aero. I went out and bought one and stayed with the iPaq brand for almost a decade. Untill the smartphone took over, then the Samsung S series became my goto "PDA" (lol) decice ever since. I still have a couple of my old iPaqs, and they still work! The iPaq h5450, with the finger print sensor, was my all time favorite.

In the really early 2000s I had a small Motorola flip phone as my cellphone. It was restricted as to what I could text and the screen was too small to watch videos. Now I have an Android smartphone and I can watch KZbin videos on it.

I used to develop software for Pocket PCs! One example was for a truck repair business. They would build a parts list on the Pocket PC, take it back to the office, and plug it into a dock. It would then synchronise with the desktop software (that I also wrote) and automatically generate a quote. I had to learn how to code all that, on my own, from books; there was no useful documentation about how to do it on the Internet back then. I remember the synchronisation part was a nightmare to figure out.
