I'm noticing advertisements for more and more GPS phones. Music, video...cell phones are doing more.

Tonight at our local civic pride celebration we were eagerly anticipating the start of the Marine Band concert when an announcement regarding the weather was made. Our county was under a Severe Thunderstorm Warning...hail was on the way, but no lightening coming close to the ground. When the sprinkles began, we broke out our ponchos (my wife packed for her and the children...I was impressed! <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />) And pea sized hail and heavy rain assaulted us, but people were huddled under umbrellas, blankets or just taking it.

When the rain let up, I checked the radar from the Weather Channel program on my phone and got to thinking how handy NOAA reports coming over the phone would be.

Do you think the technology is possible to cram into a cell phone? Maybe the alert gets held like a text message or voice mail and when you choose to play it you can have the phone automatically activate the speakerphone or listen in the handset or bluetooth headset.

Should I file for a patent? <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
