My phone is my favorite travel gadget because it has my translator.
I don't have an alarm clock. If someone needs to wake me up, then I have my BlackBerry next to me.
The smart phone isn't a perfect device, as we all know. It forces the world into a tiny screen. It runs out of battery, bandwidth, and power. It distracts us from the world around us.
I wouldn't use a phone with less than a 4-inch screen anymore.
What we want to do is make a leapfrog product that is way smarter than any mobile device has ever been, and super-easy to use. This is what iPhone is. OK? So, we're going to reinvent the phone.
The idea that, you know - when I was growing up - that everybody would carry around a portable communicating device, that was science fiction when I was a kid.
I have one computer that my wife gave me. All I know how to do, and I do it every day, is play Spider Solitaire. And I don't have a cell phone.
Throughout the day, my phone will variously chirp, burp and growl - it's like living with a velociraptor. The last time I went to try to shut it off, the thing bit me.
I want to be able to leave my phone at home.
Think about it. If it's taking pictures, it's not a cellphone. If it has a McDonald's app to tell you where McDonald's is based on your GPS location, that's not a cellphone. If you can get Wikipedia or go to Google, that's not a cellphone.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. In the nonprofit world, the right picture is worth tens of thousands of dollars. I use PhotoPad to sync our Samasource Flickr account to my iPad and slip it out of my purse at cocktail parties to tell our story.
I get on Twitter, one of my routines during the day, if I'm home is, I wake up, get a cup of coffee, turn on the Weather Channel and I'll look at what people are saying to me on Twitter on my phone.
Here's what a phone is: It's a computer that has a little app on it that allows me to dial numbers and then talk to someone.
I am an Apple guy. I got the iPhone 4 the day it came out. I have a MacBook.
I don't have a smart phone. I didn't have one when I arrived in the U.S., and somehow life has continued. I teach at Stanford University, I launched a tech company - miraculously, it all seems to work without a phone!
I hardly use a computer anymore because I have everything on my phone.
The iPad is a superior consumption device for material on the Web.
The mobile phone is not a toy; it's a device that uses radio waves.
I don't do Twitter, Facebook; none of that. My email I do from my Blackberry or my iPhone.
I didn't own a cell phone for a long time. I was late in the game on that.
It feels as if ever since the iPhone was released, the Macintosh computer has become just another leverage point in this other operating system's marketing plan.
I do everything on my phone!
I don't spend much time on the computer at all, so I do most of my email on my phone if I do any at all.
I think the iPhone is the best consumer product ever. That's what I feel about it. And it's become so integrated and integral to our lives, you wouldn't think about leaving home without it.
A smartphone is a computer - it's not built using a computer - the job it does is the job of being a computer. So, everything we say about computers, that the software you run should be free - you should insist on that - applies to smart phones just the same. And likewise to those tablets.
