@monkbent@__MarkW__ "Smartphone" definition has changed. iPhone obsoleted the old one. It was GOOD that iPhone didn't fit it! -

@monkbent@__MarkW__ Or scifi terms "pocket computer" or "pocket comp"...but scifi characters still usually had separate communicators. :) -
@__MarkW__@monkbent "A widescreen iPod with touch controls... a revolutionary mobile phone... and a breakthrough Internet communicator" ... -
