I guess there is no place for me in the future. I want a solid device with HW qwerty.

Humans do have buttons. Belly button that is :D

Re: The future of Mobile technology
 

I can think of a few more buttons that I like to push... the results are VERY variable though, depending on the owner of the buttons (and her mood). :D

I just don't have the patience for a nearly content-free, soft-porn ad like this!

Unless tactile tech advances, there is no way the touchpad on the back is going to fly.

Also, it still isn't seamless - you still need to reach out and grab the thing. It's tiny too, so misplacing it is a real problem.

Anyone here watched the anime Dennou Coil? Basically, what was featured were glasses that you could interface with using your mind. Screw buttons, when I can use gestures and thoughts to communicate!

Senator Anthony Wiener is all over the news lately! :P

I rather have a SnakEye3 like on MGS4!

It should be like a smartphone, only that its also a really cool eye patch/glasses/Ironman helmet thingy which can also double up as a saiyan scouter.

Bleh, cute but hard to use with one hand - and more specifically one thumb.

Check for example scene of street when she looks on the map for first time. She has here trolley and have to leave it unattended to grab device in two hands to use maps.

Not enough. Needs a scanner to detect what the things I put it on are made of and zoom level I want (particles? Molecules? Everyday Names? Look for pathogens? etc...). And I'm being serious.

AND there's one little thing: Some of the things shown in the video (like the 20 min thingy) could be achieved, in my mind in 2 ways:
1)Everything in the world would have to have some kind of pattern to be easily recognized by the phone, otherwise anytime I put it on some numbers it would start clocking;
OR
Some chip put in the brain charged by the chemistry in the body(just like the cells) that can only send (not receive) commands to make any phone not need this worldly "patternization" of things.



But with the last, IF allowed input, we would not need a phone then, depending on how powerful the implant may be.

Use your imagination. :) I see this as a vision, not a prototype. Many of the use cases indeed look cumbersome compared to current methods, but I don't think that was the point of the video at all.

The vision is that mobile devices integrate into our lives, rather than taking us away from it. That doesn't mean we have to give up one-handed use. Or zero-handed for that matter. :P
