Sailplane pilots seem to have high techno-geek standings.
I have been watching with curiosity/amusement the
media frenzy over this device. Cell phones are quite
useful for many of us, and particularly for retrieves(when
we have coverage!).

So is this device clever marketing by Steve Jobs, or
is it actually creating a new niche for electronic
devices? I for one don't quite understand how someone
could get so excited about a cellphone. Are these
the pet-rocks of the digital age, or do the put current
cellphones and laptops out of business? Just curious.
