not obsolescence, but subsuming nature of iPhones
We've had iPods for music & pictures, game boys and mp3 players, but just look a the list of devices that the iPhone (and other smartphones) will soon subsume:
Like to take this as my own keen observations, but the real article by Ted Landau, April 14, 2011 at MacObserver.com is where I got the insperation.
- Handheld GPS devices:- GPS apps for the iPhone now equal or outperform
- Portable game players:- App Store games are cheaper, more plentiful, and easier to obtain
- MP3 players:- iPod & iPhone out perform
- Portable DVD players:- no more carting the media around with you
- eBook readers:- advantages go to the eBook except when you own both
- Digital cameras:- not for serious photographers, but for casual use
- Portable recorders:- you can say goodbye to separate portable recording hardware. The iPhone is all you need.
- Wrist watches:- not as flashy as a Rolex, but not as expensive either
- Travel alarms:- by now, just an antique
- Portable calculators:- remember that HP11c? when's the last time you used it?
- and perhaps even, your wallet
