Lots of candid photographs of Barack Obama from TIME photographer Callie Shell, starting back in 2006. Some pretty impressive work.

Read and compose novels with your cell phone (just like they do in Japan, or at least so I'm told).

Use an online service to leave a voicemail on someone else's mobile phone without ever making the phone ring (U.S. only). Seems like it could be very handy.

Excerpt: "You go to the Foneshow website, find a podcast (there are many to choose from including NPR and even the presidential candidates), type in your cell phone number, click on subscribe and you are done. You will receive a text message with a phone number in it. Hit reply to the message and your phone will automatically dial the number where you will get instructions to listen to the podcast. Every time there is a new episode available, you will recceive a text message (you can also stop this function if you would like). While that is pretty cool, even more exciting is the ability to create your own cell phone podcast! And it is so easy! You just click on Create your own Foneshow. Add your podcast (you can upload it), and then publish."

Not quite sure how this works but looks like it could be handy in a writing-intensive classroom environment.
