Now thats a very cool idea where one can program with the tile placement. Don't see how that would work with the wooden rails though. I guess this must be something relatively new as they talk about a cell phone app. Am I the only person in the world to not have one of these phones? 

Actually the coloured token idea is I think borrowed from the old Lego Duplo trains, I believe in prior incarnations you could affect how the motorised trains would behave, for example go forwards or backwards.  Of course nothing as sophisticated as this and definitely no phone app stuff, but fundamentally very similar just enhanced.

As for not having "one of these phones" are you telling me you don't have a smart phone of any type Super? 

If so I'm amazed in this day and age as you have to really go out of your way to avoid iPhones (overrated, overpriced, copycat junk these days) and Android (more innovative due to the open source nature that allows individual companies to produce new features/functions).  I know there are still a few 'old school' phones out there like the re-launched Nokia's, but they are well only for those who want to just talk or need massive battery life...
