Windows Phone Thoughts: 30 Years of Cellular Technology

"Even in 1973, New Yorkers had a reputation for taking things in stride. But when Martin Cooper emerged from a Hilton Hotel 30 years ago Thursday to make the first calls with a portable cellular phone, he drew a crowd of gawkers. Today, the only gawking would be directed at the Motorola prototype he used, a brick-sized device that weighed 30 ounces. Today, we do more than talk with our phones; we keep track of people and appointments, take photos and browse the Web. Today, Cooper heads a Silicon Valley company that sells technology for high-speed wireless data connections."

Oh, how technology moves. ;) I'm sure some of you dealt with the good ol' Motorola bricks, bag phones, and the like...
