Most of us don’t know who Martin Cooper is, he was the first person to make a call on a handheld cell phone prototype in 1973 and he is named on the patent “radio telephone system” filed that same year. Android now has some strong endorsers in the inventor of Linux and now the inventor of cellphones.
Cooper did a piece on C-SPAN last week where he talked about spectrum and the politics of the industry. He also discussed the possibility that cellphones can cause cancer. The most interesting part of the interview came around the 30 minute mark where he stated:
“Depends when you ask me. I always have the latest cell phone, and I try every cell phone out, only because people like you keep asking me. Right now I’m using the Droid, because I want to get some experience with the Android operating system, and I, so far, have some favorable results.”

only applies to pseudo-tech fanboys. Anyone who is actually technically literate would benefit from his discussions on spectrum usage. That being said, I have a Droid as well
You can thank Mr Cooper for your droid.

So the mention of Android is the most interesting. Spectrum usage is cool stuff too though.

However I believe that old man knows a heck of a lot more about the technology that makes it work than you or I. The "new and improved" never happens without the first one. All the youngsters walking around with more CPU in their pocket than a 1960's spacecraft doesn't make the youngster any more knowledgeable than that original rocket scientist that is now in his 80's. I give props to that old man. And cool that he uses a droid.
