RichardL,
Thankfully there does seem to be far fewer "bluetools" (people that annoyingly wear and use their bluetooth earpiece in public) these days than a few years ago.
You know a technology has come mainstream when you see people in sweats, at WalMart talking about absolutely NOTHING 24x7 on a bluetooth. Frankly, if you are a mobile business person that makes $100k deals over the phone, then fine, walk around being a bluetool. But for the rest of you out there, keep the bluetooth for your car, please. I and others simply don't want to hear your conversation, and frankly, you and your conversations just aren't that important. Same goes for talking loudly on a cellphone in public (at an airport, on the train, etc). Some people need a nice hot cup of STFU.

And how about this Greek statue? What else could she be holding other then a smart phone?

TomT,
Perhaps she is just holding what's left of a sword or septre that was broken from the statue and lost centuries ago.
I don't think you can compare a statue to a video of a real human and determine what either are holding in their hand.
I must admit that the statue appears to be looking at something in her hand like it was a cell phone or Ipod device. :grin:
I just think that shows how quickly we have grown acustomed to someone using these modern devices. We are so acustomed to seeing someone in that familiar pose using a cell phone that we immediately relate that pose to someone using a cell phone.
