   Oh, it's not that cool.  It doesn't have an electric razor to shave 
with on your way to work.  Heck, a Swiss Army knife has more stuff - the 
iPhone doesn't have a toothpick, a magnifying glass, or a pair of tweezers.

   Of course, since I play a professional bad guy in red teaming, my 
first thought is how many of the features would be useful for a black 
bag job.  Lots of memory to suck down documents, lots of wireless to 
connect to systems and make them spill their guts, instant comm back to 
base, camera, video playback, maps and instructions for getting out.... 
  While I can imagine the iPhone as the latest product placement gadget 
in a James Bond movie, it might steal the stage from James.
