Totally agree about triangulating people in a crowd. We first started doing that at disneyland when we’d split to take one kid on one ride, and the other kid on a different ride.

The party scenario – your answer came from walking in and talking to the owner, not from the smart phone.

I’m a list writer. But I do it old school. I sometimes take pictures of the list with my dumb-phone. I also use the camera on my dumb phone to take pictures of items in a store to consult with my husband… I text the pics to him and then we talk (voice) about whether to pick it up.

I have a gps in my car. It’s portable and doesn’t require a monthly service… so I was able to take it to europe, not get a special sim/phone service, or pay roaming.

Wikipedia on the fly? If it comes up at a party – someone *else* always has a smart phone – I make *them* look it up. 🙂
