How Can We Disrupt The Cell�Carriers?

Every time I pick up my iPhone lately, I?ve been asking myself:�Why do we call this a ?phone?? If my ?phone? habits are any indicator, we shouldn?t be calling this a phone at all. On the iPhone, I don?t like taking phone calls. I?ve moved the green phone application button away from the bottom tray and replaced it with other apps I use frequently. If Apple allowed us to actually delete the phone app, I?d bet some of us would do it right away. In our evolving relationship with mobile phones, I wonder when we are going to stop calling it a ?phone.? It?s semantics, but the words are important and affect our mindset. If we?re using precise language, these devices are really computers with data-collecting sensors and processors that�happen�to have voice capabilities as a feature.
