Cell phones are on the next level of frustration in terms of configuring and really owning. Just being able to root a device, which is never default unless you buy a niche privacy phone often is a huge and painful rigmarole. The "community" of cell phone hackers isn't that helpful because most of them are concerned with making phones look cool rather than removing spyware and "empowering" users. Part of this is just the issues of manufacturers, designers and carriers of phones conspiring to keep phones locked down devices. All this makes using and doing videos on phones very difficult.
