M$ already has cellphones... they've been out for almost 2 years now.

And they work very nicely too... a bit of a surprise I know.

I would love to see a real Mac interface on a cellphone though, not a skinned one.

I think it could look really cool.

Yeah, them with their strange words. "Gas"? What's that all about? :P

"Gas"... abbreviation for Gasoline, which is a specific type of fuel for automobiles and other types of internal combustion engines. I do beleive you guys call it "Petrol"... what's that all about???

After all, Petrol is an abbreviation for Petrolium, which is oil in a semi-refined state. You cannot put petrolium into an automobile, it would destroy the fuel pump, injectors and intake manifold. And diesel fuel is essentialy 80% gasoline and 20% 30W motor oil.

a "cell" phone is an abbreaviation for a cellular phone and is the technicaly accurate description of what is commonly refered to as a "mobile" phone. The term "mobile" to describe a wireless phone using cellular technology is too general, see gas reference above. If I were to apply the same generalization, my cordless phone at home could also be called a "mobile" phone. Granted it will only function up to 1,500 feet (457 meters) from my house instead of the approx. 15 miles (24 Km) from a cell tower like a cell phone. So tell me again who needs to take it easy on who???

O.K. class over.

And yes... I am a smart a$$ nerd and proud of it. :D
