New Zealand Makes Cell Phone Use Illegal in Vehicles *UPDATE*

New Zealand just made pretty much all cell phone use illegal while driving vehicles. That includes using your phone as an MP3 player or using it as GPS.

Turns out they have decided to allow GPS and music on cellphones as long as they are "mounted in the vehicle and are manipulated infrequently."
