The first cell phone call ever
Posted in This Just In... on May 23rd, 2010 by gkrakowIn case you missed this, CBS News’ 60 Minutes just aired a profile of Marty Cooper who, while working for Motorola in the 1970’s, was responsible for a wireless device which allowed him to make the world’s first cell phone call.
The Motorola handset he used was the size of a adult’s shoe and weighed more than two pounds.
This is a terrific piece about a clever guy who is still plugged into the mobile device world and has a lot to say about the past, present and future of on-the-go communicating.
(I apologize, in advance, for the promotional commercial that CBS adds before letting you watch their news story.)
