The funny point is that we were also the only 2 guys in charge of electronic design / low level programing with smartphone/tablet SoCs :-) We had absolutely no interest in such devices.Fortuitously, we also happened to have the exact same model of basic Nokia dumbphone :-) Re: Funny (Score: 1) by nightsky30@pipedot.org on 2014-09-15 11:21 (#2SDT) Yep, I see no need to get a smart phone. And I see even less need to get a smart watch. If it's tethered to the phone to provide any functionality, then why would you need it? Doesn't the phone do that? They were right in calling it digital perfume.
