Ideas for the communicator of the future ... in 2000
In the yard of the 2000th year. Mobile phones somewhere else status item. The screens are black and white, and polyphony is an advertising slogan.
Samsung Electronics contacts AM + A to develop the concept of a mobile communicator for the future. They need ideas that could be realized by 2002.
AM + A did a great job of research and design. As a result, they have a concept called Mob-i. Here is a description of some ideas for the smartphone, which were presented to Samsung:

1. Emotional personalization
A character is displayed on the smartphone display, which shows what is going on with the computer at the moment: a battery dies, a message arrives, it “thinks” - the device becomes like Tamagotchi, urging the user to treat him like a living creature.
(The rest is under the cut)
2. Detachable tab in the ear.
Smartphones have a known problem: when the caller dictates something to you, I want to write it directly into his memory, but you can't. It is necessary to include at least a speakerphone, but this is not always possible. The authors propose to embed a bluetooth headset directly into the case, which can be unhooked, inserted into the ear and using the device, for example, to continue the conversation.
3. Relationship room.
The address book becomes not only a directory of phones, but also a single center of relationships with the selected person. It contains the history of all calls and correspondence, you can attach photos, notes and schedule meetings.
4. Separate contact book for companies.
In this book, the user saves the addresses of companies, stores and services that he regularly uses. It is separated from the main address book and is a kind of personal directory of taxis, hairdressers, repairs, etc.
5. Actions during a call.
During a call, a button is displayed on the screen, under which a menu with contextual actions is hidden: make an appointment with the interlocutor, enter it into the address book, etc.
6. Location-based reminders.
In the PDA of the future, you can set the flashing reminders only if the user is in a certain place. Thus, if he skips work, meeting reminders will not bother him. Or the fact of the emergence of reminders will be tied to the appearance of a person in some place: once near the store, the device will remind him to buy bread, to feed the cat at home.
Such ideas seemed interesting 9 years ago.
