Imagine having a program on your phone that accepts and greets your calls before passing the call to you.
Just think for a moment how great it would be to have a friendly voice from your phone answers your calls and artificial intelligent voice activated kiosk ask the callers the following questions:
Hello, who would you like to speak to... question
The caller say's -name variable- ...answer
Sorry, there is no one by the person -name variable- name.
Phone hangs up, and ends the call without disturbing the phone recipient.
However, if the name variable matches the pre-programmed name variable, it rings to alert the phone recipient to take the call.
BOON-DA-BAAAH!!!
No more wrong number disturbances!
I don't care what phone you use, if it don't have good software that makes sense, I ain't buying. When companies start paying for ideas like I presented, a phone is just a phone.

What do I do with the one I got?
You mean I can't use it to call Steve Jobs and tell him how cool it is?

He WILL call, won't he!
