Cell phones

My German is worse than my Spanish (and that is saying something). Deutsche Telekom is a large mobile company? Is that what you are getting at?

OK, so it is, but what does that have to do with Mobile Devices, or Handsets, or Cell Phones, or whatever they want to call them?

I see the term "Mobile Device" quite often in the US, and in England, a common term is "Mobile" - as in "I'll call you on the mobile"

Eh, maybe I should change me screen name, as I am technically no longer in telecomm. But "broadcast video, audio, and media transport dave" does not quite have the same ring to it.

Call yourself "Mr Convergence"...

I just stated that our parent company DT has been in the mobile handset game with data longer than the US market. They're always referred to as hand terminals or "Handys" for brevity's sake as they are not just some funky walkie talkie.

Its everywhere. Its always going to be everywhere now.

I cringe still every time I see someone drive past me looking at the phone and not the road. Risking so much...

I see young kids riding on streets on small bmx bicycles, faces buried in phones.

Can't compare to how it used to be, because we didn't have the technology to play with. Who knows, If we did, we would probably be the same.

As long as I keep looking at whats around me in Disney (and elsewhere) and not worried what I am going to miss, that is all that matters.
