My school has taken to calling them BYOD's, for Bring Your Own Devices, which encompasses phones, iPod's, and laptops.

BYOD is kinda hard to say though.

Except he doesn't even to seem to be aware that they are commonly called smart phones, or are frequently referred to by their brand name (e.g. i-phone). So he's ignoring all the name changing that has indeed taken place. Further, it's sort of like a guy coming down from the mountains saying that he needs a new name for his car because it has air-conditioning, radio, a sat nav, and a tv and dvd player. It's still a car, like a phone that does other stuff is still a phone.

I don't think there's much to be gained from thinking whether a name is appropriate - that seems to be the pursuit of marketing people when they want to sell you something or, as in this case, want to earn some kind of legacy by coining a new word/term.

I googled it. It's called a smart phone.

I also googled Newt Gingrich. He's an out-of-touch, fat-headed, pseudo-intellectual, failed politician.

I'm fond of 'the naughties'.
