what i love from my current phone is being able to use my Hotspot to make it possible to use my smart TV as we do not have WiFi yet!
Most things I can achieve from my Galaxy phone. I can keep intouch with most platforms and outlook.
It's tricky to answer my fave tech item, but the one that saves me the most money, and time is my Ring Doorbell. Talking to delivery drivers to arrange an alternate delivery makes it easy to do. Even better is that it does get price discounted from time to time making it a bargain.
I most love my kindle as I have a mobile library at my disposal. How else could one carry 20+ books on holiday.
I was very sad to see the iPod to go, I would have very much liked to see one updated. I have an old I touch that doesn’t even have bluetooth.
Mostly if like to see compatibility between all smart home tech if a common platform do everything ran with everything else.
I'd love to see an up-to-date DS, all the power of modern hardware in a pocketable form factor.
My favourite devices are my Alexa devices that allow me to stream my music or any other music so easily.
My favourite phone of all time was my Motorola Razr flip phone. Would like a modern version of that.
100% reliable comma would be my hope for the future. Some areas have very sketchy coverage.
Oooo a toughie. Q1: I think my iPad mini is my fave, which keeps me entertained and connected at home and is loaded with books, maps and mags on the go.
Q2: It'd be really great if the iPad could run on a 'paperwhite' version for reading books in bright light. It's hard to see when lying on the beach (I wish) and the Kindle was much better and lasted much much longer. So update the iPad to be able to switch to Kindle mode when needed - to improve readability and improve battery life.
Q3: I'd love a better battery life (wouldn't we all!) - I hate when my phone starts to drop when out hiking and so have to purchase booster packs. Be good if phones were provided with spare batteries (like my camera) or a power pack as part of the standard kit. And of course, universal chargers 🙂
What do you love most about your current devices?
I am a huge Apple fan, I have an iphone and an ipad. I find the Apple phone is very user friendly and simple to use. I love that it links across to my ipad. I also love my ipad as it allows me to watch movies and tv shows while travelling. When I had a plane flight to India last year, I watched a Netflix series on my ipad the whole way there and the way back. I also love digital art and it is something I am trying to learn and I can do this using the Procreate app on my ipad. The apple pencil works seamlessly and feels like drawing/painting without the mess and I can do it anywhere with my ipad. Really helps keep me motivated to improve my art compared to if I had to sit down with paper and pencils or paint which takes a lot of cleaning up and can only be done sitting at a desk. With my ipad, I can draw anywhere and anytime of the day, really helps keep ontop of my creative skill set.
I love my iPad. It's like a real version of the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. All the information I could ever need is at my fingertips. Books, movies, TV shows, songs, news, family and friends, games, all are within my grasp at any time. I can consume culture and create it all on the same device.
