    If we need to have a new name, then I suggest an old one. PDA. The acronym is familiar, meaningful, and not awkward.

    Then again, just because Pogue says we need a new name for a cell phone, doesn't mean we do. #appphone

    @Geisrud: I agree.

    In the Windows Mobile community "smartphone" was used to refer to the more limited non-touchscreen version of the OS found in clamshell style phones. The version with full capabilities was either just "Windows Mobile Pocket PC" or "Windows Mobile PDA".

    Let's face it, PDA's (or Pocket PCs) have been doing all these advanced capabilities long before phones did. All they did was add a phone to the list of features on the PDA.

    We don't have smartphones, we have PDA phones. #appphone

    @Kerensky97: The PDA acronym can also be "rebranded". Change the meaning from Personal to Phone Digital Assistant.

    Still, at the end of the day, I'm going to call it my cell phone, or just "phone". That's what I do most with it; even if I use it for other reasons, that's the single reason I have it in my pocket every day. I.e., if my *pocket electronic device* couldn't make calls, I wouldn't carry it or anything else. #appphone

    In reply to David Pogue: "Smartphone Is Too Limited...It's An App Phone"
    This is idiotic. A smartphone has always been a phone you could install applications on. It's a basic requirement for a smartphone, IMO. I've had the ability to install apps on my phone for most of this decade. It's nothing new. This is another great example of tech media acting as if Apple invented something that already existed. As if apps on phones started with the iphone. #appphone

    You know, I think "Laptop" is too limiting of a name. The name isn't descriptive enough to let people know the laptop is also capable of sitting on a desk or table, or really any surface in general. #appphone

    From my perspective, it's a "phone". If your phone doesn't check e-mail and play Peggle, I'm not talking to you anyway. #appphone

    A couple of years ago there was an ARG called Perplexcity, the characters in that game had devices which did everything, phone, email, payment, access to the grand central database, games, music, monitoring life signs etc. They were called Keys. At the time I remember thinking just how cool that sounded, a device that literally did everything!

    I dunno, but i think that kinda appropriate for modern day smartphones. Its how I think of my iPhone, its key to virtually every thing i do now. #appphone

    Seriously...Aren't phones now just doing what the UMPC's could never get off the ground? Let's call them PCP's (PC Phones). That should give the Apple die-hards a heart attack. :)

    What about CONPhones (Connected Phones)? COMPPhones (Computer Phones). LPCPs (Light PC Phones) #appphone

    i wish you all would stop calling things iphone-like for little to know reason. i mean, if iphones were actually the first so-called smartphones, fine, but they weren't. also, giz seems to like calling anything with a touchscreen iphone-like.
