If they can add that qwerty goodness this could so easily pull me away from the long awaited Kaiser...

How in the name of all that is holy can you PATENT something like this? Method for attaching control device to second device?! Which part isn't obvious and/or laden with past examples?

Wrong. Completely wrong. For some reason (be it the vastly reduced quality compared to a RL conversation or some other factor) talking on a cell phone drastically reduces reaction times. Putting on a hands-free kit makes almost zero difference. It is the cognitive load, not the missing hand, which causes the problems. Your reaction times are slightly quicker when driving at the drink-drive limit (although obviously that affects you for the entire drive, not for the duration of the call). Would you like to defend people who drink and drive as well? Thought not. Talking on cell phones whilst driving needs to be given the same social status as drink-driving. Only when people are made social pariahs when discovered doing it will the numbers reduce.

And now you're going to explain why the opinion of one anthropologist is relevant?

What sort of 'spontaneous' behaviour do you think it will curb? Spontaneous muggings? Spontaneous hit-and-runs?

Sounds like someone missed their medication

I'm looking forward to trading it in for a next gen model with GPS to make the google maps application useful

Y'know, I was with you on the sarcasm, until you decided that 'gay' should be used as a term of insult. After that, you were just an idiot.

If it doesn't have a two-player link version so I can play Combat (ah, Tank Pong, happy memories), then it does nothing for me!

Ah, so it is a standard GPS receiver except when it is cell-coverage when it uses the cell tower to talk to a more powerful server to get a quicker, more accurate fix.
