Look to see what kind of auxullary inputs your TV has and then go to a Radio Shack and ask for help.
Mine isn’t that small, but its covered in hard rubber, is waterproof (or resistant, anyway) and you can drive a truck over it without hurting it.
On the other hand, the gizmos I carry have overflowed by pockets and required me to get a messenger bag.
At least my pistol fits, too.
Tracfone, I carry one as a spare. T Mobile also..
Yay!!! Another person on the planet who thinks a phone is a ‘phone’!
DAMN RIGHT !
3. Making phones bigger, and bigger, and bigger, until they attain the dimensions of a cheese board and threaten to take over your pants.
ALL I WANT is a phone that dials a number. I ain`t got time to surf the web,tweet and post on Facebook!
STRIP all the ssuperfluous junk out and they could make a cell phone I NEED, so small you could drop it in your pants pocket and it would feel like 5 credit cards stacked together
Reminds me of my first portable phone, mid to late 80s I think. It looked like a regular desk phone that had to be plugged into the car's cigarette lighter to use. There was a battery pack available for it but it was bigger and far heavier than the phone.
As I read this article I was reminded of the “too little, too late” Elcaset. I was a hi-fi salesman at the time and, although I thought they were cool and impressive, even I knew they were not going to catch on.
They are semi-collectors items now though. ;)
T-mobile just pushed an updated OS to my fender Mytouch yesterday. It hosed my just-out-of-warranty phone. I was in their store yesterday and thought I might want to check out a flip phone. I had a hard time finding them.
Truth be told, though, since my phone is my GPS, my iPod, a web-browser (slow, but works), Bible, Gaming station, and a few other things that have made it too important now to switch to a flip phone.
That said, I’m sure that if I had no choice I could learn to live with a flip phone, or no phone at all for that matter.
If I had my way I'd dump the phone and computer.

I spent all of Monday evening wiping malware off my computer. It was antivirus .net. Note the space at the end of “antivirus”.
The only way I could run any program (even task manager) was to rename it Iexplorer.exe. And it took a while to figure that one out. What is interesting is that all the google hits I go on it were from this year. It must be new. Maybe that is why avast didn’t catch it.
Oh, and google was a challenge too. It had been hijacked. If I typed Freerepublic it would get lots of hits that were, in fact, at freerepublic.com, but when I clicked on teh hyperlink it took me somewhere else. Usually a celebrities or other site. Part of the hijack was that it changed my Firefox settings to use a proxy, but that was only part of it.
I think we just may see a huge increase in this type of stuff in 2011.
Yep...remember when you could actually talk to people on phones?
So, did anyone check out the adult section of the CES?
The phone measures 3" x 1.5 x .5".
If I still had to deal with antivirus and other assorted malware hell, I'd probably have committed Seppuku by now. Thank God for Unix!
If only the software I used worked with lynux...
Huh? Are you saying Unix doesn’t have viruses and malware?
Please show me a website whereby I might just go to the site and be affected on my Linux desktop. Please. The vast majority of what passes for ‘malware’ un the Unix world these days is errily reminiscent of the Honor Virus jokes of years past.
