I loved my PSP, and later Vita. I still think about Wake Up Club.

Yeah but I think he's talking about things that failed because it was ahead of it's time, the PSP didn't fail. It was popular and sold for about 10 yrs

PSP didn’t have a built in camera, it was an add on

Or the Garmin GPS. It had games, a browser, a good UI, and of course could navigate. The iPhone before the iPhone

Heard of Game Boy? You could attach a printer to that thing 😂

I used to have an atrix with the lapdock and loved it, thank you for the awesome job ahead of it's time!

What it sounds like to me is that you wanted Apple to come out with a Google Glass clone so bad and then they came out with a completely different product😂. You probably had that comment already typed and saved on your Google pixel. Please go sit down somewhere!

@@Aggie4life77 We need another google glass clone, tbh. Seeing what companies expect us to wear in public (looking at you, meta), google glass honestly seems extremely tame and proper looking, as well as functional. On the other hand, maybe it's a good thing that we aren't advancing too quickly. I don't think we're ready for the tech dystopia... hopefully we will never be?

@@erineopenaloza8311 Oh man! NFL2K1 brings back so many good memories. Was also into Marvel vs Capcom!

Hey I liked the Dreamcast as much as anyone but it didn’t really do anything innovative or “ahead of its time” over its competition. The Super Famicom had everything mentioned (in Japan) before it.

So to break it to you but Sega saturn and the nes, snes had alot of these features and more and were truly ahead of there time that propelled the stereotype of the 80s and 90s of how far ahead Japanese tech was back then

I had a Panasonic 3DO that was def ahead of it's time. Major points if you know that console w/o looking it up.

htc hd2 for me ,especially when u unlocked the bootloader and installed android froyo

To be fair, the screen may be not that big, but the device itself was pretty huge. Looked it up and it was bigger in every dimension than the iPhone 13 pro max so the mocking is justified lol

I wonder why everyone is forgetting or ignoring windows phone. it lasted till 2015 and it's just 2022 how can they forget. As a WP fan i wanted everyone to know Wht microsoft tried to do.

I was getting hyped for it and my next phone was definitely going to be a Windows phone but then I never heard anything about Windows phones and last time I looked it up apparently Microsoft killed that off entirely :(

@@yashwanth3374 Windows phone just always sucked. Felt like microsoft were too full of themselves to see what they were doing wrong.

Man, Microsoft really shot itself in the foot with Kinect and Kinect 2. If they had just refined it more, gotten better games, kept the price down, been less creepy about privacy, and vetted that disastrous E3 reveal, they could have created a product that would go in nearly every family home. Instead, "the world's bears elling gadget" is collecting dust in second-hand bargain bins.

@@barrettdecutler8979 my family still has it. We got it back then. Its still alive and it helped with a bit of exercise too.

Kinect 2.0 is still the best value motion tracking camera you can buy, it was incredibly ahead of its time for $99 in 2013, if they just marketed towards AI and Robotics then sales would've skyrocketed. Even in 2022 a ton of people buy used Kinect cameras for robots just because of how damn good it is, the only other alternative costs $300 more.

It was a great piece of hardware. It's a shame Microsoft didn't think to create one good game for it to justify its existence.

I don't really think a car that has an effective range of 50 miles(2nd gen being less than 100) is "good for the masses" 😅 If you want to go way back to the early 1900s and complain about electric vehicles being pushed away for easier methods of travel across country, and remember, that was the point, people were traveling further distances, they wanted to be able to refill and go, but go ahead and make that debate, but don't make it on the EV-1 😂

I used to think as same as you, but think for a moment, Where the heck are they going to take the energy to power those cars? Not even today can we obtain clean energy for electric cars

Omg. I came looking for this comment. The documentary “Who Killed the Electric Car”

The car made no financial sense and if GM had kept them on the road, they were obliged to provide spare parts and servicing, which would've cost them a lot. It's a simple case of limiting your losses. Good car but expensive to produce and develop and impossible to make money out of back then. They took an expensive bet at a fairly new tech and couldn't make it profitable at the time. End of story

Nope. GM auctioned the EV-1 patent to the oil companies, of which Chevron bought it, to purposely sit on it. Nice try shilling, though.

@@DimitarStanev GM was afraid of poaching their own ICE business. The market was there and would have scaled. Needed to be an outsider like Tesla who had no bad incentives like GM did.

I had an Atrix in college but couldn't afford the dock.

@@isaacrees4741 that would be incredible!

@@srt4b that is true, but smartphone sensors still can’t come close to full frame for low light video and dynamic range. Maybe someday.

@@ResortTV1 lol just kept watching the video and he says that same thing 😆

In 2016 Windows 10 Mobile had this feature called Continuum that let you dock (wired or wirelessly) to a display/laptop and have a desktop environment powered by the phone. It was killed off by Microsoft, but from the beginning it had enormous potential. The hardware wasn't quite there yet though

Asus Padfone S can connect it's phone to a tablet shell. I also like the Microsoft Continuum idea (or just the general Microsoft software on a phone) that I bought Microsoft Lumia phone in 2016.

Although it wasn't on the list, he did mention it in the video while talking about the Motorola.

One other manufacturer to look at is Motorola with their 'Ready For' desktop environment. Each manufacturers 'Desktop' has pros and cons. For me, I sway to the Motos because they have a unique aspect of how to use it (look for reviews/how to vids), plus, Motorola don't stuff their phones with 'Bloatware' - multiple apps that try to do the same thing as many Google apps (that generally do it better in most cases) that Samsung 1- Deem it necessary to install them onto every device of theirs, with... 2- Forcing the 'Like it or lump it' approach by not allowing them to be fully uninstalled. Why not just have the 'Galaxy Store' app on their devices, and allow those that want a Galaxy equivalent app to then install what they want, rather than "Look, you buy our phones/tablets, you get our 'Meh' apps with it and you can't do nowt about it so shut up".... Don't get me wrong. Samsuing do great hardware, and my 'Perfect phone' would be something like the S22 Ultra running on Pixel (pure Android), or Nokia's Android One OS, or even Motos version of a basic Android (with their features like 'Karate chop' for torch, 'Double twist' of wrist for quick access to camera etc. And that camera hardware with the Gcam apk.... Hell yeah! Heck, starting on pure Android is a GREAT place to start customising your own phone your own way... 😏😎🇬🇧

Tried using Dex two years ago when my computer had emergency repair due to water spill, and it was excruciating to use it as multi-tasking and I gave up till I got my laptop back.

Best Buy was always, use to be, a great experience for that, when you bought CDs or games but checked out the other tech. You could spend hrs. End there.

It is, but the smoothness and straightforward iOS is unmatched compared to android

I think that Android phone makers and Samsung in particular throwing together features in 5 minutes and adding it onto their phone actually hurt the progression of phones due to those features working so awfully and people losing faith in them

@@Chapter7Certified Samsung updates are the worst.

@@Chapter7Certified this is the thing, it seems as if many andriod developers are coming up with ideas while drunk and put it in to their phones. a little while later apple will look for what they find the best features for their phones and like two years later they will have a decent product (with some stupid limitation lol).

Or iOS was just slow with its developments

The concept pictures looked so cool as well. Broke my heart when I heard it was discontinued, really believed in that project

As someone who had this phone, the only worthy attachment was the battery pack because the battery life on the phone was awful. I had 4 different Moto Zs between 2017-2019 because of hardware issues and a very fragile screen. I ended up not getting another Motorola phone after that after only ever having them and loving the brand for years. I bought out of my contract early just to stop using that godforsaken phone lol

I was just thinking that! You could keep 10 songs at the end of the month. The Zune player had access to your Zune subscription pass so you can download music with your Wi-Fi connection. You could also share music wirelessly with other Zune players and listen to the radio if you didn't want to listen to your music.

Which, ironically, is an eternity in tech years!

Do we have scientists studying the passing of time? Cause I wouldnt be surprised if time dilation on Earth somehow started passing faster in recent years.... this is going way too fast.

I loved my pebble back then. I had the first full metal one and even liked the industrial look of it. It didn't have a lot of features but it did what it could extremely well. Til this day I still prefer buttons over a tiny tiny touchscreen for smartwatches.

After my Pebble died, there is no other replacement that I could find that works just as great as the pebble.

@@bryanlim1373 The closest replacement to my old Pebble is the TicWatch (currently have the Pro3GPS). Battery life (compared to the Pebble) still sucks, but it is a capable watch. Waiting for WearOS 3 to be released for it.

Ahhh the pleasinga and satisfying number, no. 10

Audi A2 would ne nice

I'm with you on this one frank! I'm always in support of anything in relation to having an easier time and less barrier of entry when it comes to learning in general

I also think that technology got past the threshold where even a phone has enough raw power to just be good enough for general computing, which wasn't the case before.

Would love to see it. I remember proposing this kind of solution back in 2010 at my first job out of High School. My boss at the time thought I was crazy. Guess I should have gotten into product development and not IT.

OnLive didn't die mate it's owned by Sony now and incorporated into Playstation Live.

Good point 👍👍

Mostly because privacy was a concern

Having to look in the corner was a feature not a bug. There was a concern that overlays over the user’s vision would obstruct their sight and cause accidents.

@@MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive who said it was a bug?

supermarkets need to listen: I would buy stuff more often instead of order it at amazon if I could just pull up at a parking spot and get it delivered to my car. even just groceries. everyone hates wasting their time in the store. even the employees too

There was also MyLackey, WebVan, and some other ones. WebVan was grocery delivery. MyLackey would run simple errands for you, like pick up the dry cleaning, do grocery shopping, etc. I visited Seattle in early 2001 and saw lots of faded internet company logos painted on empty warehouses for rent. It was surreal.

I was constantly checking up on Phonebloks (the concept that started it all) because it was such a neat/new, consumer friendly-long lasting idea. Now Fairphone is basically the small scale version of that whole concept. Imagine not having to change ur phone every 2, 3/4 yrs- just order new parts and swap ur cpu, camera..whatever, out!

It was a great concept but companies won't invest in it because they want customer to buy new phones so they can make more profit instead of just buying a new attachment like camera, chip and other things...

@@deepakbisht4957 I believe that companies like xiaomi and such would very much invest in simple "addons" for this phone

really agree, im using nokia lumia back then.

Well, the hardware on the Lumia phones was great, but Windows 8 was too hobbled for serious productivity, and Windows Mobile lacked support from lots of apps and services that were already established on Android and iOS by then. In many ways, Windows Mobile was too late.

I had the same hope about Windows Phone as well. The problem with Windows Phone is their developer support is bad, they didn't give enough support or easy accessable information to App developer. So a lot of developer choose not to build on their platform, this is where they really miss the market. Hardware wise, Windows Phone was more smooth than Android

I have it

GM management did not want anything to do with electric cars unless their hands were absolutely forced. For a while there was a bill passed in California which said that by 2010 all cars sold by major manufacturers had to be electric and every one of them had to have an electric model out by 2000, so in the 90's there was this pressure to make EV's, and a lot of the manufacturers did. At the same time though, they lobbied the government to repeal the bill and I think either in 1999 or 2000 it was repealed, and to make sure the public forgot about the possibility of having this cool new tech that was just around the corner, GM recalled every single EV1 and destroyed them. I think Jay Leno and some museum are the only ones to have an intact one. The reason GM did this is because they want to keep costs down, and avoiding innovating above the bare minimum is a good way to do that, as unfortunate as that is.

These professors love to pretend they’re bigger than they really are. 😂 I don’t believe it.

Glass was wonderful, I loved and still do. I wish it was more durable in rain and heat.

The problem with the Zeiss was that it was too expensive. If you want a good mirror less camera, it will at least cost 500. If you want a phone to run photo editing apps smoothly with a display capable of showing the picture accurately it will cost at least 800. Plus if the company invests into good software, that will also add to the cost. So this proposed camera smartphone would be incredibly expensive, which is why few people will buy it which is why very few companies try to make something like that.

It will be like 5000$

@@konradasplytnikas2595 A modern camera already has a screen, an image processor, Wi-Fi, and a storage solution, it may only need a processor or two that handles computational process and the software. It's not that simple, I know, but I believe the cost might be not as high as you imagined combining the cost of a camera plus a phone.

I actually got one recently on eBay to play with and have as some sort of personal museum piece (yeah, it's just an expensive toy, but I save up to get them occasionally.
