Cyvanhoe Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Sooo... imagine a company would bring out a device like the PipBoy in todays world. What features do you think it would have ? Mine are... 1. Telecommunication (Telephone, Wireless Internet etc.) 2. Navigational System 3. Basic Entertainment (Television, Radio, Music etc.) Just a few to get the Discussion flowing. :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikekearn Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 I've pretty sure all of the smart phones that are coming out these days are basically that. The iPhone, to take one of the most popular, does in fact have all the things you listed. I've also seen watches that have Internet, movies, phones, and music players built into them, though none yet that have had all of them. I personally think a phone-like device would be more widely accepted than a device you have to wear, but that's just me. For myself, I would love to have one you could wear, so long as it's made as tough as PipBoys are talked about being. Today's gizmos and gadgets are pathetically fragile.

WrathOfDeadguy Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 As long as it has a built-in Geiger counter and a radio, I'd buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furtim Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 The iPhone is pretty sweet, but where's my VATS? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armadous Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 My Titan(XV6800) does all that, still waiting on that damn bluetooth Geiger counter though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TehProfileth Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 AS long as it let me carry 150 lbs worth of things as default, I would buy it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tekmon Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 What a real pip boy should have 1. Communication - it could be a cell phone, VOIP Phone, Instant Messaging, text messaging, MMS, SMS, stuff like that 2. GPS - Real time location, and real time weather conditions. 3. Internet Browsing - FireFox on the go, flash and everything 4. Radio - HD radio, Satellite radio 5. Media player - Play various Music and video formats, and even view photos. 6. Game player - Emulators, iPhone like games. 7. Digital Organizer - Organize your life, take notes and voice notes, planner, stuff like that. 8. Satellite TV - Watch Your Favorite shows on the go, comes with built in DVR 9. Weather Device - Replace the Rad Gauge with a Digital thermometer, have NOAA weather radio 10. OLED screen - For super crisp and bright colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree on today's gadgets being fragile, we could really use pip boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, this would also be useful for transferring files. It could be like the zune where you can share music wirelessly, and it can be like the DS lite with pictochat. This would even be cool for wireless headsets. 12. Various ports - SD cards, and a cable to sync data between stuff would be vital. Maybe even a AV output port.
