Inventor of Cell Phone Gave iPhone to Grandson, Tweets on Droid?!
No doubt a genius, but perhaps also Woz-centric (think eccentric but with technology founding stripes), cell phone inventor Martin Cooper always likes to have the latest and greatest mobile device on the planet. Ish, according C-SPAN:
Right now I'm using the Droid, because I want to get some experience with the Android operating system, and I, so far have some favorable results.
He also likes to Tweet from it -- he's @MartyMobile if you want to follow along. In his defense, however, he did have an iPhone. He gave it to his grandson. Lucky kid!

I would love for Marty to eat my py. Mmmm he's so darn sexy.
@Vanessa eewwwww wtf?!
Kinda looks like Blue from Old School. He's alright, I decided.
Thats some nice endorsement right there.
It's Mr. Hand!!!
so.. he switches phones everytime something big is released...
I have a feeling he's on Motorola's payroll ... but you have to give credit to the guy for keeping more active and up to speed than most of us that are much younger.
BLUE!!!!!
@ Mary Beth Lowell, Well at least he used to be on Moto's payroll. He was working for them when he invented the cell phone.
Engadget also said that he has a Jitterbug phone for when he just wants to make phone calls...
Ewh,! He has a DROID. The wannabe robot, slash- #1 wannabe iPhone killer! He can go suck on the DROID. He must be on crack! (Kidding about the suckking.. Just an over exxageration.)
If he created the first cell phone, then why isn't he using the cell phone the revolutionized the mobile phone? Android didn't, Apple iPhone did. Martin Cooper, drop the ugly Droid, and get an iPhone.
Your my man Blue!
@spazbite
I believe it's....."You're my boy, Blue!!!" unless you were self expressing. That's a classic comedy though. Good times.
Blue excellent!!!
After we ate everyone gathered for the celebration.
