"We will have to prepare ourselves for the fact that soon the telephone will be be one of those things we will be carrying around with us all the time, like our watches, notebooks, handkerchiefs, and wallets." Berliner Illustrirte Zeitung, November 2, 1919;

taken from the book Einstein, by Jurgen Neffe, 2005, page 14:
"A precursor of today's mobile telephone, which had just been introduced by the 'Society for Wireless Telegraphy,' was creating a sensation among the Germans. The Berliner Illustrirte Zeitung, which, as always, had its finger on the pulse of the times, reported, 'We will have to prepare ourselves for the fact that soon the telephone will be be one of those things we will be carrying around with us all the time, like our watches, notebooks, handkerchiefs, and wallets.'"
