From J.J. Abrams' interview at IGN: "We all have the iPhone that does more than the communicator."
Is anyone else tired of this cliche concerning Star Trek technology? Our modern cell phones are nowhere near as sophisticated as Star Trek's communicators, yet I've constantly heard about how the 60's Star Trek wouldn't work today because we've got all that technology now. Here's even Abrams himself claiming that the iPhone does more than Kirk's communicator. Funny, he must have gotten the model that can talk to starships that I missed.
