Cell phone are no different than:
Ipods
cd/tape decks
GPS systems
Heater/A.C. controls
power mirrors
rotten little bastards in the back seat
"Airbag" in the passenger seat
The driver is being distracted.The source of the distraction is irrelevant.Ban them all or ban NONE of them.

I guess turn signals, wipers, and headlights should be banned, too, by that logic (or lack thereof).
Cell phone use has been shown to as bad, or worse, of a driving impaiment as being drunk. A lot of GPS systems have limited use while the vehicle is in motion. iPods I don't know about, but are probably nearly as bad as cell phones. As for the rest on your list, not even close.
Cell phone use while driving should be banned in all 50 states. Gotta make a call? Pull over.
Gotta change your rotten little bastard's diaper? Pull over.
Don't get along with your wife? Seek counseling.
Can't chew gum and walk at the same time? Maybe you shouldn't be driving, let alone adjusting your AC or changing the radio station...
