Stuff I don't use any more because it's all available on the Note 4:
Phone calls (natch).
Kitchen timer.
Alarm clock.
TV set-top box (Chromecast app).
Barely use the computer any more.
Going to check the quality of Spotify/Spoticast through the Chromecast dongle - music into the amp via the TV. Might not *choke* need the CD player anymore.
Better not chuck anything out, mind. Might lose the Samsung... 😯
The internet has quite a lot of those "look at this huge pile of stuff that your phone has replaced" pictures.
We remind ourselves of this occasionally when you start taking things for granted a bit too much. "What do you mean I'm in the middle of a field in the middle of nowhere and I can't buy a new book to read right now?! Stupid phone!"...
From just one such article:
thanks to a single device.Looking further into the future, there is the very real possibility that our phones will quite simply become our default computing hubs. And by computing, I mean just about everything with a chip in it.
Could be supplanted:
set-top boxes
I'm ahead of the game...
PS: Oh yeah, forgot - the camera.
and soon it will probably include your wallet and car keys as well.
jack of all trades master of none 😉
TV set-top box (Chromecast app).
Isn't Chromecast just away to stream stuff from your device to your TV?
My set-top box gives me all the Freeview and Freeview HD channels allowing me to record multiple channels at the same time, set up series link recording, as well as pause/rewind "live" TV and store 1TB of HD video.
How does Chromecast replace this?
(My [i]other[/i] set top box is an Apple TV, which I can see is more akin to Chromecast)
My Roku box only offers a limited selection of what's available, no "Blinkbox" for instance.
Also, whilst not perhaps replacing a more sophisticated box, it's pulling in another functionality to a central control device...
Ohh I look forward to the days of the smartphone unlocking my car too..
longer lasting battery would be good as well !
