On 3 April 1973, Motorola vice president Martin Cooper displayed the DynaTac, a 28-ounce portable telephone, on the streets of New York City. He predicted that wireless phones “could be reduced" to "fit in a breast pocket." The initial model, the DynaTac 8000X, cost $3995 and weighed nearly two pounds.
