Hiding Caches with a Smartphone..

For all your general chit chat, caching or not.

How do you feel about caches hidden with smartphones?

I don't mind, a cache is a cache

If placing caches with a smartphone (or iPhone :D ), only hide large or regular caches, then everyone will be happy.

Even with a large or regular container, without a proper hint a cache can still be impossible to find if the phone co-ords are out...as I found out the other day.
It boils down to the fact that if phone cachers want their caches to be found then a proper hint(in most cases) will be necessary, otherwise other cachers will simply avoid trying to find them....which is exactly what I now do.

Well it was more an anti micro comment than anything else, tongue in cheek at that..... (what is the smiley for that???)
