The 2.5-pound, 10-inch-long model’s inspiration came from a bespoke, two-way radio system that Motorola created in the 1960s for Chicago police.
I was just the luckiest person in the world to have a team of brilliant people.A: DynaTAC stands for Dynamic Adaptive Total Area Coverage. That was my dream — when you traveled throughout a city, you were dynamically changing channels all the time.
Q: The time between when you made the first phone call and when the phone became available to the public was about 10 years. Who was your target audience for it? Who did you think would buy it because the model was very expensive when it hit the market, correct? A: We didn’t believe that when we started out. But we also knew at $12,000, not many people would buy it.
A: Oh, not at all. We were so proud of all the technological breakthroughs we made just to place a person-to-person call. But my excuse is that in 1973 there was no Internet, right? There were no cordless phones. The digital camera had not been invented yet. So, it would have been a stretch for us to imagine that you could ever squeeze all of those features into this small device.
Q: I think I need to start monitoring my health on my iPhone then, too, if that’s a feature that you enjoy — and look forward to being bugged by your phone or your watch whenever you’re not doing your normal routine.
