As a kid I imagined the future as being able to hold a TV in your pocket, and flying skateboards. For the latter I guess electric scooters will have to do
I mean they literally are, you can watch literally any tv show or movie on them so I don’t see a difference.
Would this require feeding it batteries like a triggerhappy machine gunner?
Absolutely! (Same as playing a regular game on a Game Gear.)
I had both an AC adapter and a 12VDC car adapter for mine. Without those (considering the sorry state of rechargeables back then), the cost of batteries would’ve made actually using the damn thing untenable.
And tablets killed those digital picture frames. Because why have those when you can just prop a tablet down and have it on slideshow mode.
No? Searching for “digital picture frame” brings up pages of results. These are popular enough because they are much cheaper than an equivalently sized tablet, e.g. a 10 inch digital picture frame details for around $150, which is less than half the price of a crappy android tablet.
Also, tablets don’t really exceed 12 inches or so in size, but you can get digital picture frames as large as TVs.
$150 is cheap to you? Um, okay then…
