Dear Mr. Gingrich,
Thank you for your brave efforts to rename the cell phone, a device you so aptly call your "handheld computer," and we're here to assist.
As you explain in your video, “If it’s taking pictures, it’s not a cellphone. If it has a McDonalds app that tells you the closest McDonalds based on your GPS location, that’s not a cellphone.”
This is something we take very seriously at iPhone Life magazine. We’re sorry you’ve been taking flak for your insightful video. But take comfort in that you've fulfilled your mission to generate discussion of new names. “Federation Hand Widget” came out of the comments section today, and be honest, would you have been able to think of that on your own?
After consulting with other members of our team, we have great news to share with you. We’re confident we’ve determined the name of the device you hold in your hand: it's called a smartphone.
To show our appreciation for your efforts, we’ve decided to give you a free one-year subscription toiPhone Life magazine to assist in your smartphone education.
Enjoy!
iPhone Life team
