Newt Gingrich "Really Puzzled" By What He Should Call His Newfangled Telephone

After watching this video, I imagine a lot of Americans are disappointed that they did not support Newt Gingrich in his quest for the White House last year. Newt observes that his gizmo can do more than make phone calls. You don't say?

Slate's Josh Voorhees has fun with grandpa:


Newt Gingrich wants you to know that he is "puzzled" about what to call his cellphone, which can do a whole lot more than simply make calls. I'm puzzled by his entire video on the topic, but mostly by the fact that he hasn't heard of the term smartphone.
