The guys on Cranky Geeks were discussing the merits of cellular phones having all sorts of extra features on them. North Americans are less inclined to see their phones as all-purpose devices as Europeans do. One comment made was that Europeans refer to their phones as their “mobile”, instead of “phone”. The cranks overlooked the fact that here in NA we refer to them as our “cell” - a word that usually describes a really small living organism not normally thought of as being multitasking. Perhaps it’s the name that’s holding us back?
