Years ago, I was a huge fan of the TV show 24, and although the mobile phones of choice were often Sprint/Nextel models (thanks, product placement), I often wondered if the show had continued, what technologies we’d see. Long story short, if Jack Bauer had an iPhone, the Survivor, a $50 ruggedized case from Griffin would be his case of choice…
