Ringtones? Bah. Games on the cellphone. Nah. The only thing I can see myself truly appreciating as a part of the cellphone’s feature set are:
- A working camera / lens assembly with the ability to post media to the Internet and to store pictures on a removable medium
- A working GPS or GPS-like functionality. I really don’t care for a 12-channel, WAAS fix on my cellphone as long as its able to triangulate my current position on an updated map, and to show me the way to San Jose..
- Google’s “Local” / mobile version, that integrates with the aforementioned GPS functionality; i.e. to be able to run a search for “street race” in the current area and to be able to get “proceed to your…” guiding vocals after, complete with the requisite large arrows on the cellphone’s screen.
There’s that’s it. That’s all I’d pay for in a cellphone, as additional features. The rest is all a ball of “Bah!!”
In times of hunger (and unnecessary bravado), one is forced to eat one’s own words…
This is my meal for the day. An application that I would like, totally pay for. Like, in an instant. Like, give it to me now. Like, its like, mad cool, y’know?
So..its like this.
- Flip open phone.
- Look at screen.
- Get a quick glimpse of where the water level’s at.
- Have no excuse for not juicing up your phone after.
Simple.
Like my father said – “Most things that can go wrong in a car and strand you by the side of a road, require a tool. However, if its an empty gas tank that’s gotten you there, you’re the fool.”
I’ll drink to that.
