retrospective[01] - well this is ten years of the hardware in my pocket across three different continents. it's interesting to reflect over the different bahaviours and use-patterns that go hand in hand with each one [as well as the design features i bought into at the time]. i can see where i stopped buying into 'the yearly upgrade', remember how my pay-as-you-go emergency contact phone only made it into my backback in aus and how my 'keitai' was the foundations for learning how to read and write japanese! the camera encouraged me to get my mobile out of my pocket in times other than when i was texting. but nine years of small incremental design changes didn't really engage me much more than my house keys. it's frightening how much my iPhone and the app store have started to fill idle moments; text, browse, watch...the phone app is the only one i don't really use.
