Newt Gingrich: ‘If it’s not a cell phone, what is it?’ | Political Insider | www.ajc.com

Mrs. Pundit calls it her husband’s significant other.

Over the weekend, former House speaker Newt Gingrich went to YouTube in an attempt to crowd-source a new name for what has quickly become the most important gizmo in your personal arsenal:

“We’re really puzzled here at Gingrich productions. We’ve spent weeks trying to figure out what do you call this? You probably think it’s a cell phone….But think about it – if it’s taking pictures, it’s not a cell phone. “If it has a McDonald’s app to tell you where McDonald’s is, based on your GPS location, that’s not a cell phone. “If you can go to Wikipedia or go to Google – that’s not a cell phone.”

Gingrich says he’s been calling it a “hand-held computer,” but has rejected that, too, as insufficient. Apparently, “smart phone” isn’t smart enough, either.We’re kicking around one name: CyberShackle. Trademark applied for.
