Comments on: AT&T Exec expects iPhone to do…well…everything…in the future http://www.applegazette.com/iphone/att-exec-expects-iphone-to-dowelleverythingin-the-future/ Your Ultimate Guide to Thinking Differently Thu, 09 Feb 2012 05:10:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Brandon http://www.applegazette.com/iphone/att-exec-expects-iphone-to-dowelleverythingin-the-future/comment-page-1/#comment-89355 Brandon Tue, 11 Nov 2008 02:36:23 +0000 http://www.applegazette.com/?p=4301#comment-89355 I agree with Phil's point, but there's no denying that technological progress has been accelerating over the past fifteen years. Shiiet, 10 years ago my computer had 7GB of harddrive space, now my phone can compute faster than my old PC and has over twice as much storage space. Plus, a flying car requires innovation on the hardware side of things, all the things Michael described could and would be done throught software. Much easier to implement than boosters on the back of a station wagon. I agree with Phil’s point, but there’s no denying that technological progress has been accelerating over the past fifteen years.

If there was AT&T coverage in South Dakota, I'd have one, but I wouldn't expect it to do anything like this in the near future. Nice 'zing' at the end! Yeah, I think this is a bit ambitious.
