What is the TwitterFone?

Google G1 Phone

If you’ve been keeping up with the road trip at all, you’ve undoubtably heard/read Pam, Kelly, and Peter referencing the TwitterFone.  I realized today, that nobody ever explained what that IS, for all you folks not actually along with them on the road.

When Kelly left, she took my Google G1 along with her, since it has crazy Internet powers: Twitter, web browsing, email, chat…all in the palm of your hands.  And when you’re on the road and want to let folks know what you’re doing, it’s an invaluable tool. I had no idea it was going to be such a popular little device on this trip, but I’m glad they’re having fun with my little baby, now dubbed the TwitterFone.  How I miss it so.

    I’m a T-Mobile customer and plan to grab the next decent Google phone iteration. I cannot wait. :)

    Thank you for the clarification. I figured it might be your phone when Peter mentioned plugging it into the power inverter source of electricity. I had checked the website for twitterfone which referred to using voice to send messages to Twitter and that just didn’t fit the TBEX travelers use of the term.
