p.s. An iPhone is the tool I use the most, actually keep it in the V- Bar bag. Thus I sneak out in the middle of the day, do a 2 hour ride, stop at the top of the hill and return emails to clients across country, with clients serviced and none the wiser.
I know this wasn't Ed Zachary what you were talking about, but it's still my most-used cycling tool. When there is no traffic around, just reach into the bar bag and do a quick check for email. I am not, however, one of those dufuses (dufi?) that talk on the phone while riding. I may be a dufus, but not of that particular species.
