Oh yeah? Try to cut a jammed seat belt or open a bottle of wine with an Ipod. I'll take a Swiss Army Knife over the latest Palm whatever any time. I already have a cell phone. Add a clean hankie and a large caliber handgun, and you have a pretty good survival kit right there.

Dear Four Sixteen Rigby, The year 1798 called. They want their tools back.

For you runners and walker out there, try RunKeeper for the iPhone. Keeps track of your runs (pace, location, etc.) and automatically stores them on the web for you. Awesome tool.

check out my apps that I created, Sports Cards App and My Vision App. easy search by those names. It was fun creating apps, and actually get them approved and in the store!

I'm still living proof that life does exist sans cell phone. I am truly FREE, and it scares you. You can have your digital leashes.

Dear Ryanoceros, I wouldn't take too much pride in being a luddite (One who opposes technical or technological change.) It looks like you are enjoying the ELECTRONIC version of the Tulsa World whilst posting whit.

Ryanoceros, Tulsa (10/5/2009 1:53:38 PM)

That's because I am not a luddite, just against the sick/rude/dangerous obsession people have over their cell phones.

Four Sixteen Rigby, Tulsa (10/5/2009 4:13:43 PM)

Yep, I'm not a luddite, either. Just not hooked up to buying a new $300 electronic toy every year or two because the last one became obsolete or uncool. And a sharp pocket knife might be "1798" but I'd like to see you get out of a burning car with an Iphone.

So people cant buy toys anymore? How much did that clean hankie and a large caliber handgun cost? Can it give you step by step directions? Call 911 and tell you were you are? Can it keep you connected to family that lives in other states or countries?

For the majority of us that will never find ourselves in a burning car trying to get out, we will enjoy our phones or toys. Afterall, can you honestly say that you have NEVER bought anything for pure reason that you wanted it. A sports car, a fishing pole, a hunting rifle, etc...

I have had my iPhone for a little less then a year now. I would never go back to a normal phone unless because of financial reasons I had to scale back.
