One party trick some people miss about me is that for a number of years I carried around an iPad mini (with cellular) in my front jeans pocket. It was my primary and only mobile device. It was somewhat more inconvenient than a smaller phone, but not by as much as one would expect it to be. Having its bigger screen was an advantage in many situations though.

I downsized to a large phone a year ago (partly because Apple neglected the iPad mini and I gave up waiting for a better version to come out).

What was the party trick?

My main device used to be a cell-enabled Galaxy tablet. I would make calls over cell internet with Google Hangouts. It's big but it fit in my back pocket so I loved to just randomly pull it out and pretend I was taking a call. People who hadn't seen it before we're usually astonished, "Holy shit dude, that's a huge phone!"

I guess not everybody had seen a tablet at that time, circa 2013 or so, and it worked almost every time. That was my party trick.

Always having an excuse for being happy to see people. "Why yes, that is an iPad in my pocket"
