|
| Android apps are coming to Chromebooks, and the ASUS Chromebook Flip is the first device to get a taste of what that's going to be like. It makes sense, really—it's an ultra-portable convertible laptop-slash-tablet that makes a lot of works well with and without the keyboard. The real question, however, is how practical is this? | |

Or, you need to call for help using your own iPhone, but it’s out of your reach or you’re not able to dial a number. The iPhone comes equipped to help out in both these circumstances by providing a dialing keypad for emergency use, and the ability to make an emergency call with Siri (assuming she’s turned on and ready to use hands-free). | |
