Most mobile devices or cellphones now have cams to capture video as well as take photos. So how do you watch videos or mini-movie that was recorded through a phone if you need to view it upon your Windows computer? Two issues regularly show up: Playing 3gp files and 90 degree rotation. You can actually find a media player or video player which helps you to view 3gp videos using your laptop. Free Windows-compatible players for 3gp files.

[...] Cable companies, meanwhile, lure customers with so-called “triple play” packages, where the cost of phone, Internet and television isn’t significantly higher than Internet and TV alone. In some cases the triple play is actually cheaper. [...]

We don’t think so. Landlines will forever be useful for working people. :)

Landline may dont have use on people who do not do business. But as far as businessmen aand other busy people are concerned, its a must. It’s impractical to use cellphones for business purposes.

After waiting weeks for the tech to come out and “Switch on the circuit” for my first apartment after school, I gave up on land lines. I called the company back (from a pay phone) and cancelled the install. Then I got a mobile phone and never looked back.

I have to agree with Chris. Land lines will never become obsolete because they are so effective in a work setting. As far as personal use, however, I can see cell phones easily overtaking land lines.

In thirty years I have had exactly one operational failure of my landline (and that was caused by the events on 9/11). Damn the costs, if I ever NEED a phone to work, I’ll be glad I have that landline.

I have a landline, because you’re pretty much required to have one here in the UK in order to recieve ADSL, as far as I am aware.

Costs ~£12 per month to BT.

I have a landline, but need it for DSL access since cable service in my area bites the big one. That’s the only reason why I still have the landline and will probably keep it until I get a better delivery system for broadband and/or TV.

[...] My response (via blog comment) to Harry McCracken's recent post on Technologizer, found via FriendFeed: I've never had a landline (that was my own – that i paid for).
