It’s one of the most sought after mobile phone applications of them all – the ability to silently track the location and condition of a mobile phone. Many people would like to track a phone that doesn’t have GPS, using just cellphone tower triangulation. This is possible when you install apps like Latitude on the [...]

I recently took a trip to the Rocky Mountains in Montana to do some skiing. While I was out there, I started thinking how great it would be if I could use my Motorola Droid (which runs on Android and has a built-in GPS) to track my adventures through the mountains. After doing a little [...]

Many people who purchase a PDA or cell phone loaded with the Mobile Windows operating system often opt for phone features other than GPS functionality. When I bought my Cingular Smartphone a couple of years ago, I thought a 1.3 megapixel camera would be the coolest thing. However, I never found any opportunity when I [...]

There are a ton of social networks and microblogs out there. As is the case with most of them, they’re not really worth your time unless you find some way that they can directly benefit YOU.
