I keep expecting something horrible to happen as a result of not owning an iphone. Hasn't happened yet, but my nine year old niece seems to enjoy hers.

Don't have one; don't want one.

I saw a brilliant idea for an app yesterday that I can't believe hasn't been made. You text your GPS coordinates--willingly--to a friend, to a help them find you on the matching app on their side, between Android and iOS. Or you can have your phones ping to each other like homing beacons.

"Meet me at Folklife/Bumbershoot/Bite of Seattle/etc"

"Where?"

"Click."

Then you home in on each other. Awesome for parents too, to keep tabs on your kid with the same app.

Cute, but let me know when there's an app that times how long it takes to fish an iPhone out of the toilet after you accidentally drop it in. That's where the real competition is.
