I-Phone???? Not in Korea

Korea interesting fact #5: Cell-phones are KING!

Alright, so here in korea there is a facination with cell phones and rightfully so. Korea in the leader in cell phones and everyone has one or two or more. If you don't have a cell phone, you are in the very slim minority.

And cell phones here are nothing like the cell phones in the states. They don't even really compare to the I-phone (the supposed God of cell phones that just hit the market in the states). My cell phone that I have here which is on the lower end can take 1.3 megapixel pictures, it can take and watch movies, I can edit my pictures on it, and so forth. I can connect to the internet, download stuff, check e-mail. Also, I can listen to mp3's on my phone.

This is only the start for my cell phone. But some cell phones here are nuts. With some cell phones, you can use them as a remote control, some are motion sensitive, so that if you move your phone in the motion of a 1, it will speed dial number 1.

Also, if you ever want to watch something crazy, watch someone here text message. They do it so fast you won't know what hit ya.

So, I just thought you would find that interesting. Just a thought though, cell phones here are expensive....anywhere from over $100-1000 dollars. Not just a drop in the bank if you ask me.

Blessings.

Hey Mike:

Get me a phone that can I put infront of my computer at work and it will tap some keys, reply to my bosses emails, and answer calls. I think it would be worth a grand. Let me know what you find.
