If you run or bike while listening to music and want to keep your eyes on the road, the smartphone is your friend. An iPod is great, but it doesn’t give you the variety a smartphone offers. Today, we don’t really need to carry multiple single-use devices. Today’s smartphones incorporate many of the following standard-use items:
- Phones
- Music Players
- Televisions
- Computers
- Flashlights
- Cameras
- Phone Books
- Maps
- Newspapers
Of course, not every item is necessary if you’re training for a marathon like our interviewee is here, but why carry more than one device if you’ve got to carry anything at all?
