The latest on smartphones (and other gadgets)

Martin Cooper, who was in charge of the team that developed the first mobile phone (a Motorola) has reportedly ditched his iPhone for a Droid. Bearing in mind that the man is 81 years old I would like to know how he deals with the small fonts on the Droid. Apart from the font issue I also prefer the Droid to the iPhone. I have been using my Milestone Droid since the beginning of the month and it has grown on me. According to Mr Cooper (I could never call the inventor-god of the cellphone Marty) Motorola built the first cellphone and the rest of the system required to make it work, within 3 months. Their phone convinced the US regulator to not award a monopoly right to AT&T, whose vision of the mobile phone was a car phone, and the rest is history. Martin Cooper is my hero.
