Tom's Thoughts
Device Wishlist from 2003

While cleaning my files, I ran across this wishlist. It described what I was looking for in one device. The iPhone fulfills all of this, except battery life and the obvious OS requirement; I think iOS is better. Not too shabby.

  • telephone
  • two-way text pager
  • music storage/player
  • file storage
  • color screen
  • fits in pocket
  • voice recording
  • 802.11g/bluetooth and wireless capable
  • USB/Firewire connections (or current top speed)
  • Runs PalmOS or PocketPC (Bible software, other customized software)
  • Calendar
  • Contacts
  • To-Do List
  • Notes
  • VR (Voice Recognition) - push button, say name of person, it calls. (e.g., “call Laura” and it dials)
  • battery charge will last 1 week with normal use, 2 days on heavy use (always on)
  • Vibrate feature for notification
