Phone Features That Have Little To Do With Phones
Everyone is trying to cram more features into mobile phones, but people are beginning to notice that most of those features have little to do with the device being a phone. Mostly, they're just ways to piggyback on a device that people take almost everywhere, and which has a wireless connection to the world. Still, everyone insists that it's these non-phone features that are going to keep the handset industry booming.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
