PING..........
Can we make true internet tv a reality rather than just loading up a tv with “apps”?
If a tv can connect to the net for netflicks and certain weather apps etc, why not to Free Republic, google, etc etc?
Does anyone make a small flip-phone anymore? I don't want to surf the web, I don't want to take pictures or videos, and I don't care about texting on a full-size keyboard. I just want to talk on the phone. The new phones are so big that they don't fit in my pocket.
Actually, the worst consumer electronics that I can think of are the solar-powered flashlight and the DVD rewinder.
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. ;)
