No more aps! (one 'p' or two?)

There's a car commercial that keeps playing on hulu.com. The voice-over says something to the effect of, "Wouldn't it be cool if you could open the car door with one of these?" And then it shows a smart phone of the iPhone/Droid variety.

Let me answer that question. No. No, it will not be cool. Because I really do not look forward to the day when losing my phone means losing my car keys, too. Nor will it be cool when I can't get into my car because my phone's finally kicked the bucket upon my dropping it for the millionth time. I'm quite content with my remote access button and actual, physical keys. And don't get me started on cars with 'Start' buttons. They give me the willies...
