Two years ago, I bought a smart phone, but being frugal I passed on the expense of the internet connection. THis year I cancelled my dial-up which I had been using for e-mail and as a backup to my highspeed. I finally broke down and got the smartphone connection. I have found it to be very useful to track weather moving in as I am working in the field. Sometimes I have stayed in the field when I might have otherwise gone home. Other times I have know that there was goiong to be no break in the weather, so I just went home. I am sure many farmers would find it useful as well.
Prairie Farmer has a good brief article.
