Maybe it is because some groups are more susceptible to advertising hype. I am not sure how an overpriced electronic trinket would improve my life as compared to a more reasonably priced electronic trinket.

ROTFL!

I was always a skeptic about smart phones until I got one and realized how much of a "force multipler" it was for me, and also does wonders for compensating for an imperfect memory.

That doesn't mean, however, that advocate expensive cell phone PLANS - and that's where the bit costs are.

I depend on my Android. Does everything I need a computer for, run an internet business from it, movies, music... It’s my only media device. Live on a boat, like things simple, don’t like too much crap in my life... No room! ;^)

I resisted a long time, but admit I love my iPhone. On my long daily walks, I listen to Rush, Levin, KSFO Morning Show, Cato Institute, et al; talk to relatives; map my walks and discover new trails; store my exercise log to Map My Run in the cloud; occasionally answer some work emails; check weather; take photos of plants I see that I like and want to put in my yard; and shoot pics of pretty scenery that I send to my kids when I’m walking. Today I came through our downtown and took some quick shots of the 200 Corvettes on display (magnificent cars) and sent them via SMS to my son at college. It is amazing to do all this on one small device.

When I’m driving, I now longer get the paper maps out of the glove box — I simply set the directions on the iPhone and it shows me the way, turn by turn.

Lastly, it provides great reading material in the can - FR, American Thinker, Drudge, Hot Air, et al. Don’t want to waste a minute of the day (except on FR!).
