Since a few decades, humanity got more and more cursed and/or blessed with a little device now fitting perfectly in a trousers’ pocket or womon’s purse. But how do you call it these days? Here are some possibilities which crossed my mind:
- Mobile
- GSM
- Handy (German)
- iPhone
- MP3 player
- Walkman
- PDA
- Alarm
- some kind of berry
- Book
- .. or.. Phone?
I just read my first book using Amazon Kindle on my iPhone. Although odd at first, it was surprisingly pleasant. Old books mind you, like ‘Adventures of Sherlock Holmes’. I still prefer the normal, papered books, but reading using one’s phone is sometimes handy (pun intended). Suddenly, my phone turned into a .. a book.
