Cellphone Inventor Uses a Motorola Droid And a Jitterbug

Many of us don’t really know how the modern cellphone/smartphone came to be. We could spend hours upon hours trying to explain the history of it. However, all you need to know for now is that back in 1973 Martin Cooper invented the very first cellphone. Nowadays, the guy apparently spends his time using and trying different cellphones. As of lately, he is using the Jitterbug for phone calls only, and the Motorola Droid for more advanced tasks like tweeting. Cooper says he used to own an iPhone, but he now wants to get familiar with the Android platform.

The information comes from a recent interview with C-SPAN, who asked Cooper which cell phone he uses. This is what he responded:

“It depends when you ask me. I uh, 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. I’ve had an iPhone, which I gave to my grandson, which he used for three months and then I had to upgrade to a – better version. And I’ve tried many other phones. For my day to day conversations I actually use the Jitterbug. So I carry two phones – one very simple phone that I can flip open that has a very simple phonebook and nothing else. But when I want to twitter… tweet… then, I use my Droid.”
