Yeah, to clarify what I meant re 'iPhone' - Sure there were 'Smart Phones' before the iPhone, and also PDAs running windows CE and plenty of devices that had the part functionality of the phone, but I am simply referring to the ubiquitousness of iPhone and similar android devices.

If I made a show these days that showed four people, all watching a different show on a 'personal device' - If I wasn't using 'Smartphones' (or tablets) to stage it, it would simply look wrong.

What I really meant was that it was interesting to see 'Mainstream Tech' that nearly everybody had (in the UK at least) just before EVERYTHING moved onto the mobile phone platform - A platform that wasn't really as 'everywhere' as it is today, in the form its in...

I remember browsing yahoo while sat on the toilet, on a TINY little screen of my wifes phone in 2001? But I certainly wouldn't have thought of trying to watch TV on it !
