The guy in that cartoon should retort, "Perhaps, but certainly more cooperative than you!"
Then duck!

i nearly choked on my pizza
I guess the funny part of all of this is that I rarely use my iPhone as a cell phone. I am always using it for the desk clock, notes program (lists and things), iCalender (has bills alarms), watching movies and listening to music at night and when working, playing the air racing sim when taking Jr. for a walk, checking weather at Weather Channel App/film download/forecast, camera and vid cam when something is going on, like family or cool sunsets, checking data on the E6B app, etc, etc...
More like a laptop that is thinner then a wallet, then a cell phone. The phone part is only one function it can do.
Cracks me up. It was easier for me to take pictures with the iPhone at the airshow then it was with my digital camera. Plus, the iPhone could hold more photos and video memory then the camera, lol... Its wild. People would hear that neat little 'servo / shutter sound' from the camera App when I was taking a picture over there shoulder and they turn and see me with a phone.
This is the future...
(yep.. . In the future, you will have this thing the size of your wallet, and you will be able to call people on the other side of Earth, use it as a telegraph, take pictures and send them through space to other places, using only electricity and no film, and you never have to change the batteries, you just recharge it, and it has this tv screen on it too that you can work the device with your fingertips. The screen is the main control interface... )
Now 'that' sounds like Jules Verne

Exactly - while I hate to sound like a Smartphone advertisement, these things are "Devices" rather than single-purpose instruments.
I know, I had a perfectly good phone which did nothing but phone...
Now, I wonder what you did before you had portable on-demand Wifi, GPS,Scheduler etc
Although I will have to look a little more carefully at how it knew to start buzzing me the other night to say:
Take the garbage out in 12 hours!
Oh it's voice interactive too, you see.

Idly wondering if the thing could tell me the weather forecast...Of course it can!
App is called Weatherbug (free) and can call up weather at any station you care to nominate.
And just when I was spluttering on about the archaic American system of units (Degrees Fahrenheit? Huh??) the FAQ told me to go to settings and get metric.
It's a proper weather forecast too: % chance of precipitation, type, humidity etc.
