    *Phone, Meet Tablet. That’s Phabulous.* http://nyti.ms/1hDNFJ0

    Big phones may take some getting used to, but they’re much more useful than small tablets, Molly Wood writes.

    I’ve always thought Phablets were a phab.

    I thought about getting a bigger screen phone. But now I think iPhone 5 is a perfect size to exercise and carry it in my pocket. Plus, iPad mini is good enough since it can do iMessage and FaceTime. Apple people know what I am talking about.

    I feel like that Donald Trump tweet carries so much more meaning nowadays.

    I am sorry, but you are wrong on this one.  Try fitting that phablet in your pants pocket.  I like the size of the iPhone.  Size and convenience is key to a personal device.  I had a larger Samsung and it was nothing but trouble to store when I was not using it.  Of the manufacturers, Samsung seems to be pushing this trend, without regard to ergonomics and portability.

    Apart from ‘Donald Trump" ..’Apple’ is craving for simplicity,build-quality and high-tech !..they can very easily make a ‘Phablet’ and take the market but they have to do it in a different way sticking to the principles..so pls wait !

    Apple is getting their ass kicked by Samsung.

    Donald Trump tweet? This video has aged well. 🤣

    Hi molly will I be able to download and watch movies in it, from shoebox?

  15. Ohmz i on May 5, 2022 at 8:39 pm

    out all crappy things samsung made, Note1 was probably the best one to me.

    This is ridiculous, the iPad can do everything she said except call someone, so people should consider that phone as an alternative ?The current iPhone screen is sufficient it doesn’t NEED to become a "phablet"… Please stop… And bringing up Trump, once again….. Please stop….

    "Men shouldn’t be wearing skinny jeans anyways" That’s hilarious.

    My phone is bigger than some of my books. I wish I hadn’t bought it.
