Don’t you hate it when you’re having a face-to-face conversation with someone, and then the other person gets interrupted by a phone call? Don’t you hate it when you get a call in the middle of a meeting or a class, and the person keeps calling you back, wondering why you don’t answer?

Forget built-in cameras. Forget about doubling as a portable gaming console. Forget Bluetooth and web-browsing.

What I really want is a button on my cell phone that, when pressed, answers an incoming call and responds with a pre-recorded message saying something like: “I’m here, but I can’t talk right now. Leave a message, or call back in ten minutes.”
