Did you get a picture of the scene?

Now, the iPhone is a whole 'nother ball of wax...
That has GOT to be THE coolest gadget ever invented.
If they ever get Blackberry/BES integration, I may have to go to the
Dark Side.
I got my wife one (original non-3G after the $100 price drop)
Christmas
2007, and to this day, she still says it's the "coolest" Xmas gift i
ever got her. She had a good Xmas that year - the iPhone, and that
Compaq lappie :)
I had a bizarre incident the other day. I was driving on some wet and
slippery back country roads when I came across an accident - just 60
seconds earlier a car had misjudged speed on a corner, hit the side of
the road, over-corrected the spin, and flipped through 360 to land
in a
hedge, right way up. Two female occupants still strapped in and
stunned,
about to enter shock, but no LOC and no blood, so best leave em in
situ
etc etc. I pulled up and joined other would be rescuers who were on
cellphones to emergency services.
One shouted "oh hell - where are we?!" after operator asked
location. I
calmly pulled out iPhone and opened map app - within 5 seconds the GPS
had found our position, the blue orb dropped onto the map and the 3G
connection resolved the map. I said " on the A326 between ther A4074
junction and Little Marston". The info was relayed one rescuer said of
the iPhone, "That's handy!"
As I directed traffic on the corner before 2 ambulances and 3 police
cars arrived, I (too) marvelled at the iPhone - usually it takes so
long
to lock on with the GPS that I was anticipating booking the
funerals with it.
