I might be reaching a bit here, but headset notwithstanding, I would LOVE to see him try to ride a motorcycle with one hand holding a phone. I guess with some crafty clutch work, you could idle your way up to cruising speed, which would be impressive... or alternately, burn some oil in first gear all the way, which would be entertaining and possibly involve fire. Sweet.
there was a product like this years ago in britain -- you had a unit in your home and when you were near it you'd have your cell diverted down the landline, move away and you move to cell service. i think it disappeared quietly at the end of analog cell phones -- i guess it didn't help that so many cells are dirt cheap to run and it's only outgoing calls that people are concerned about using landlines foras for the quote? weak. i was expecting something juicier than that
Isn't this Grand Central? The service that Google just bought? If it is, then the capability to do that has been around for years. I remember when MCI came out with a similar Ring-To-All service back in 2000 or 2001, shortly before they went out of business.
I work for a cellphone accessory wholesaler. Haven't any of you technojunkies ever heard of Bluetooth???? There are already numerous devices that allow you to toggle between phones, and even one built into a motorcycle helmet(below). I don't think anyone has combined those features yet, but it's only a matter of time.<a class="user" href="http://cardowireless.com/scala_rider/">http://cardowireless.com/scala_rider/</a>
All you techies need to check out a cool little invention called Bluetooth. Wireless technology, duh. And yes, Junior, it's even available in a motorcycle helmet. Some of them toggle between devices (one headset, 2 phones, or music or whatever) Golly gee whiz, what'll they think of next. Where have you people BEEN??

Whenever I listen to that clip, even though I'm running XP right now, and use Adium on my Mac, I still check my IM's
