Also smartphone. Probably my sat-receiver (for remote recording). Likely that's it.

Even in my car: I'd just use my phone (instead of something else (another and likely worse UI)). It may turn out totally different in ~10, ~20 years...

The iPhone and Android are great, but extending it to a smart-watch?... that's kind of a lame idea. I don't care.

Hopefully we have something less expected and more exciting by then.
