Super-size your smartphone?

Now with some smartphones having 6 inch screens, they now compete with some tablets - are they actually smaller tablets, or still smartphones? CNET has an article describing the large screens on the market. I have a Nexus 4 and iPhone 5, they are just the right size I don't have to worry about putting one in a special case - it could look like a small envelope being carried around, or being very cumbersome on a belt holster! It will be interesting to see what the limit, if any the consumer will tolerate. Be it that many people carry their smartphones with them in plain view while walking down the street (hello stolen phone thiefs!), probably because I lived a long time before phones/smartphones engorged the masses - so I can walk down the street or be at a shop and not always being glued to my smartphone - though I do use my iPhone notes app for writing down my grocery list, saves from using a post-it note that I usually forget to bring with me.

iPad Air

The new iPad air looks great - thinner and lighter than the previous generation iPad. Now has a 64 bit chip powering it, so all the apps that were great on the previous generation iPad should be smokin' on this one - along with faster wi-fi. It should do well! My iPad 2 is doing well on iOS 7 - but this would be a nice addition...

Apple iWatch....

Well by now we have all heard the latest 'rumors' of a 'iWatch' that Apple may or may not release in the next few months. If they do release one, it will be interesting - more so than when the iPad was released - will people actually want one, because : It is from Apple, and the last few years anything from Apple just looks cool... They need another device to check the time, and make phone calls and play Angry Birds.... It's from Apple!!! It might take me some time to warm up to a watch that can do many things a iPhone can do - being from the 'ancient generation' (born in the late 60's) - my generation have seen watches morph from the regular wind up to the first generation electronic displays - to calculators also crammed into your watch, plus a radio...so forgive me if I YAWN at a watch-type device that is the hottest thing on your wrist since......???? (But I still might buy one down the road) What time is it?????
