We bought a Tincan after a company parent-erg conversation led to a coworker discussing her experience with the product.

Is it the game changer we thought it would be? No. We thought my daughter would want to call her friends as much as she wants us to call their friends' parents to have them come over. We thought my son would use it as much as he texts on his gizmo.

Having said this, they are getting experience, albeit infrequent, with saying "Hello.... I love you. Goodbye."

And, yeah, when it rings, there is a mad-dash to pick it up. There is something uniquely pre cell phone ("reminds me of the 80s") about the joy and wonder of "Who could be calling me (at this hour)?"
