Hottest. Smartphone. Ever.

Sure, your iPhone may be cool (except when it’s exploding). But can it turn your oven on, against your will? That feature, apparently, is only available on certain Sony Ericsson models.
As Brooklyn resident Andrei Melnikov points outs, this is great for remote pie-making, but problematic in most circumstances. Meanwhile, I am still holding out for a smartphone that turns the air conditioning on. Can someone please get to work on that, right away?

Commodity devices always end up surpassing Apple in “feature” count eventually.
Question is who should get the most credit for this “innovation”, the cell phone maker or the oven maker?
I vote for the oven maker. Why would you ever want to turn on such a device wirelessly?
