After losing his bid for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, and his chance to build a manned moon base by 2020, Newt Gingrich is turning his sights on pressing issues a little closer to home. "We're really puzzled," Gingrich says in a new video, clutching a small handheld device. "Here at Gingrich Productions, we've spent weeks figuring out what do you call this? You probably think it's a cellphone." It's a smartphone, of course, but at no point in the former House speaker's two-and-a-half minute video does he utter the phrase. "But think about it," Gingrich says. "If it's taking pictures, it's not a cellphone. If you can get Wikipedia or go to Google, that's not a cellphone."

"Think about it," Gingrich says, "this device is something new and different. I've been calling it a handheld computer, but I decided that's really misleading." Explaining that the device in his hand "has the computing power of a 2003 laptop," Gingrich extols its virtues, noting that "its real power is networking."
