I want a cell phone that:
* I do not need to carry around
* I cannot forget to take with me
What about a sticker phone, or built into clothing.
or in your access/identification badge at work that is hanging around your neck anyway.
I pay 10 for a plain T-shirt, 20 if there was a fashion guy who 'designed' a print. Probaly made for less then 0.5 by child labour in Asia. How much for a cheap cell phone these days?
And for these 20, I still get wet and cold in the rain.
I'll happily spend 100 on this shirt, if it fits, keeps me warm and dry, and includes some conductive interwoven fabric for connecting your central unit containing your personal 'SIM card'/ID card/credit card and settings.
I will combine this with a 'small' wrist unit for functionality when on the road:
* reading the time, having an alarm
* storing some MB's
* dialing a number
* reading my heart rate when sporting
* communicating to more performant unit at home (PC)
Intelligent clothing is what i would like to see, and current cell phone functionality can all be included. People could even have the fictional e-Ink displays on the front or back of their shirts.
