not something that does lots of things badly

Even sillier and more pig ignorant than you usually manage.

I watch TV on a 60in screen, not on a poxy phone.

Irrelevant to what can be handy at times
when waiting around for something.

I wouldnl't watch a movie on a phone while
hanging around waiting for something.

More fool you.

I have much better things to do during such times.


If I watch a film I prefer to sit down and watch it when I have
the time allocated that's what the majoroty of noram people do.

Irrelevant to what can be handy at times when
you need to wait around for something.

it can be handy, so in other words mot very likely.


Although sometimes when I'm ****ed off in teh morning
waiting for a bus I think to myself why don't I watch a
season of game of thrones while I'm waiting.

Or listen to a TED lecture etc and be able to check a lecture slide at
times
etc.

I'd find it more useful to be able to cook a sunday lunch while waiting
for a bus.
I don't mind listening to audio podcasts but not video or playing games.
I prefer to be mentally and physically alert when out and about.

You are much more alert when not listening to a podcast.

3 studetns today have reported bikes going
along the road snatching mobile phones.

Cant snatch mine, its deep in my pocket with
a decent bluetooth neckband headset that lets
me do everything without touching my phone.

Only real downside is that it can be hard for other
people to work out when I am talking to them and
when I am talking to someone else on the phone.

because obviously I;d be watcvhing something on teh smartphone

Not when you are driving you wouldnt.

So why have it on,

So you can listen to the podcast, stupid.

answer I wouldn't ?

I don't watch movies on tiny screens.
I doubt I'd even watch a trailer.

Can be handy when listening to a TED lecture when the
speaker refers to one of its charts on the overhead etc.

sop wouldn;t want to be interupted just
because some idiot couldn't use a map.

Only a terminal ****wit uses a map when driving anymore.

Only a terminal ****wits that don't know where
they are going need to use a map of any kind.

Didnt realise that you know all about the entire world.

I have a 160GB i-pod with 25000 tracks on it for music.

More fool you. It makes a hell of a lot more
sense to have all that on your smartphone.

No it doesn't

Corse it does.

Not for me

Yep, you are that terminal a ****wit.

or most other people.

Most other people do in fact have a smartphone.
Even the most desperate povs infesting that soggy
little frigid island.

and not all smartphone have 160GB for music.

If you want that you'd obviously get one that does.

Yep if you want that then yes. But most don't do they
in fact most phones don't have that sort of capacity.

Because most dont have that much music.

Much more in fact, 256GB is trivially buyable now.

which phones have more storage space then ?

The high end phones, stupid.

How can you navigate on a device, listen to
music and watch a film at the same time ?

Same way you do that with separate devices.

or perhaps play a game which I'd be more likely
to do on a smartphone than watch a movie.

Stupid to have a bag full of the separate devices when
any decent smartphone has them all in the one device.

But it's not very good at all of them

Much better in fact. That pathetic little dinosaur
of an ipod doesnt even have a ****ing screen so
you can navigate thru a decent hierarchy of music
to find the one that you want to listen to or even
show you the overhead of a TED lecture either.

even at being a phone it can fail due to poor signal
quality, I've never have that problem with a landline.

But the cord can be a problem when on the way to work etc.

it doesnt do that any better and is in
fact much worse in a number of ways.

seperate items are usually better


Even sillier and more pig ignorant than you usually manage.






This is why they still have cinemas like the imax because not
everyone thibnk a smartphone is the best chopice for watching
movies or much eles realyl oyher than perhaps instgram.

Fine for lots of movies like the TED lectures etc.

I don't consider TED lectures to be movies.

Your problem, as always.

No it doesn't because smartp[hones usually sit in a
pocket and will need taking out and activating to view.

Dont need to view anything to get the time, just say 'Hey Siri Time'

Even you should be able to manage that when not completely blotto.

As well but tehre's plenty of things that are
better done on a computer than a smartphone

And plenty that arent too, like reading the email when
you are out.

People have done that for years on laptops

Even a terminal ****wit such as yourself should have
noticed that a smartphone is just a tad more portable.

and about and being able to decide if it
needs to be replied to immediately or can wait till
you are back where the computer is etc.

Would you say sex is better on a smartphone too ?

Only terminal ****wits such as yourself use blow up dolls and dildos etc.
