I can do it with my phone, but then I first had a computer before IBM brought out the PC and I first had a "smart phone" in January 2000. So I know my phone just happens to be called a phone and able to do phone calls and SMS via the mobile network, but it's really a pocket PC where the physical keyboard is optional.
MS had a watch once.
Then Plays for Sure, then Groove. All gone.
I've lost track of what Google and Yahoo have closed.
My Nokia phone had widgets once and then Nokia killed them to have the pointless Ovi store, pointless because people already could get more apps elsewhere.
The "Cloud" and Internet only benefits the dominant player, hence Google Search, Google's Youtube, Google's Android is well over 80%, Zukerberg owned social media, Wikipedia and MASSIVE Amazon.
The logical result of people using the "convenience" of Amazon and lack of regulation / proprietary format is that there will only be Amazon and the Kindle. Then one day to save costs they might not bother with eink. They did call the Fire (a locked down Android Tablet) a Kindle Fire.
As I said, it's a shame and it's why with unbridled capitalism with no consumer protection you end up with a dystopian cartel of megacorps.
