TL;DR: you carry the battery and modem(mainboard block in your jacket pocket, you have a BT in-ear headset and you look at the smartwatch and control the device with either the watch's touchscreen or gestures or voice via the headset
<pigeons>
yeah i like that direction. I don't know if will be a mass preference or not. But this project isn't focusing on preferences of the masses
<DocScrutinizer05>
for games you either connect the mainboard block (MBB) to a nearby TV with a HDMI cable or by WLAN, or you use a VR goggles, or a dedicated Neo display block

I do not wear anything on my wrists/hands/fingers. The handheld computer I carry in my pants pocket is my watch.
<DocScrutinizer05>
ok, so how about a "Neo Classic handset" that has display and hw T9 keyboard and audio, with formfactor of a clamshell or candybar featurephone?
<DocScrutinizer05>
ultraqsmall since it doesn't need modem or antenna or any large battery
<DocScrutinizer05>
could be the size of a credit card with a 5mm thickness
<DocScrutinizer05>
e-paper display if we like
<DocScrutinizer05>
brolin_empey: as I elaborated in ^^^ URL, we need a new concept as the original Neo900 approach is almost unfeasible meanwhile, and not attractive either
<DocScrutinizer05>
for sure we need such a concept for a successor device (STEP2) no matter if we can and will build Neo900 or not
<DocScrutinizer05>
I also think the classical voice call is 'not fashionable' anymore. Seems people more and more do text, in whatsapp, facebook, twitter etc. Even phonecalls are done using those apps
<DocScrutinizer05>
not saying we should ignore and not support classical carrier switched voicecalls, but the focus seems to have shifted quite a bit
<DocScrutinizer05>
probably the mainstream (I beg I won't be part of it) will rather go "OK Google, tell my wife I'll be 30 minutes late for dinner"
<brolin_empey>
DocScrutinizer05: I redd your referenced channel log. It is interesting.
<DocScrutinizer05>
brolin_empey: thanks

DocScrutinizer05: I got the impression that you are not married but I do not know if I actually have anything real to suggest that.
<DocScrutinizer05>
brolin_empey: one component I forgot to list: docking station: plug in the MBB and have it connected to a classical kb+mouse+monitor+audio+network seat, or alternatively acting as cnetral media player for your home
<brolin_empey>
DocScrutinizer05: I meant that I thought you are not married to another person but I do not know if I have anything specific to suggest that you are not married to another person.
<DocScrutinizer05>
is there a particular reason you're asking(?) that?
<DocScrutinizer05>
ooh, "tell my wife"
<DocScrutinizer05>
not married, GF

Problem with voice calls is, they often have to be done outside of ear shot of other people, and in a relatively quiet place. Bus/car/train, or an open office space, or a library, don't work well with phone calls.
<brolin_empey>
Oksana: Yes unless you and the other party can speak a language that no one else who can hear you can understand. ;-)
<DocScrutinizer05>
or you do like that woman I seen this afternoon: standing on the pavement, staring at a virtual horizon and shouting "yeah, it already depressed me this morning when he said he'll be late tonight, but that's what it always is now [...] Yeah you're right, this is one of the point... (etc)"
<Oksana>
Bad microphone? ;-) And yes, phone calls are best made when walking outdoors - unless traffic is too noisy.
<DocScrutinizer05>
20 years ago the paramedics had fetched her, offering her a nice comfortable jacket. Nowadays it's obviously a normal way top have a phonecall with your phone in handsfree mode in front of your belly
<DocScrutinizer05>
afk
<DocScrutinizer05>
Oksana: you should either linger in channels or check chanlogs, when you post questions ;-D

Doesn't matter much whether they can understand. Part of point is, not distracting other people who can complain about noisy phone calls. Another part of point is, having a clear phone call without ambient noise making it difficult to hear each other.
