The new TermPhone 5500 XMT won't have any memory at all but will connect to a cloud computer for $400/month-or-else and run millions of programs "at substantial savings over old fashioned computers". Games will be $1.99/hour, half the price of the photo display program so you can view your pictures and movies of the kids. Your TermPhone's 256 megapixel cloud camera will save and send the mammoth picture files over the 12G network for $1.99/each, directly from the birthday party to Picture Center who will store millions of pictures you and your friends can look at, briefly, for $.25 each or print directly to WalMart from the cloud server for $1.49 each so you can pick them up and pay for them at the kiosk. Fanboiz will all laugh at anyone with an obsolete phone that stores programs, runs them much slower than the cloud does, and has silly old memory cards to mess with. They'll be the laughing stock of every kiddie klub if anyone see their old iPhone. Since the last free broadcast stations are now long gone, along with broadcast TV stations, pseudo-"radio" and "TV" stations will be 99 cents and $2.29/hour, respectively, on the TermPhone 5500's cloud video display, conveniently deducted from your Cloud precharged account. Only Cloud video, of course, will display on the proprietary, encrypted-to- prevent-piracy Cloud TermPhone 5500 XMT under its Super-DRM digital controls. "Wait 'til you try the new Voice Processor that replaced old fashioned word processing programs!", fanboiz will brag to you standing in line for the new phone at the Cloud store on 5th Ave. "You just dictate a letter for $2.99 and Cloud will process it into the perfect letter you later pick up at any one of thousands of convenient locations for $1.49/page when you're ready! Wanna rent some time on an eBook?! 49c/hour...a real bargain! -- Creationism is to science what storks are to obstetrics. Larry

The "iMac" name has been around for about 10 years already and shows no sign of being replaced (even if the "i" has lost its original "Internet" menaing). As for the Newton, it was way ahead of it's time (and is STILL the best PDA you can get) and without it there would probably never have been a Palm Pilot. |
