While it’s not at all fair that Apple’s iPhone (and the developments its release has spawned) are getting the overall bulk of the attention doled out to the smartie market these days, it’s certainly worth pointing out highlights that are piggybacking the multi-touch marvel’s success as they make their way into public view, if only because they’re 1) quite useful, and/or 2) so frickin’ cool.
