Why all the hype over these ecotec LEDs?

[ponokareefer]

And now, they're not even using the newest and best LED's.

And it makes coffee too!!!! only problem is a three pound phone is a little large

Too late, my iPhone4 already has an LED light on it. Try again.

interesting concept...maybe in the future they will

This is relative. One man's junk is another man's treasure as they say :-) How much money did you spend on your fish tank? No matter its cost, there are tonnes of people who would not drop a dime on it because it's just not worth the money

How does the application of your iphone create results for you that are worth the money? Does a normal phone not make calls? Sitting at work surfing canreef is productive? Are you not sitting infront of a desk with a computer on it? Do you use it to take your wedding photos for your customers and find the results better than a SLR or whatever camera your using?

If you want to control your peram's, have warnings and a light, then get a different fixture and a GHL controler, problem solved. There are lots of fixtures that are cheaper and GHL compatible.

Okay what I meant was a Radion/phone.... The light with a phone, rather than a phone with a light...The wife could get hurt only having the single beam light from the phone...

Business these days is done through mostly email. iPhone gives me the ability to respond instantly and secure clients before they get a chance to email someone else. The ability to use email has paid for the cost of the phone hundreds of times over

My job also involves a lot of driving in areas that I am not familular with, like st Albert, Sherwood park, spruce grove. iPhone has updated maps. This feature alone saves me from buying a 200 dollar gps unit

The least used feature on my iPhone is the actual "phone" part. So comparing it to a 5 year old cell phone is not eve a fair comparison.
