Tell your average hipster that they can use VZ Navigator on their phone to get directions to the coolest new club through a GPS chip in their phone, and they'll probably think its pretty neat. Tell the same thing to your average healthily paranoid geek, and they'll hopefully question how else it might be used. Sure its cool, but if Verizon can do it, so can the government. On top of that, they may also turn on on your mic even when you're not on a call. In a follow up to my article on FBI cell phone tapping, we'll be discussing how you can be tracked on your cellphone, and under what circumstances.

In other news: iPhone 3G! FARK YEAH!

Oh, and for all you haters: Lowest price for a new Tom Tom GPS = $199.
Lowest price for a new iPhone with GPS (and phone, music, video, monkey ball, etc...) = $199. And yes, it will have turn by turn directions in the near future.

Gadget pr0n will follow once I get my invisible shield on it

Damn I'm such a procrastinator. Thank you to those who trudge on with me despite the infrequency with which I post. I blame my tight schedule, and more recently, WoW (yes, I've become and addict. No I don't know what took me so long. I though I was strong enough to resist, alas I am not). Mostly, however, the blame rests squarely on my own shoulders. Anyway, thank you again to my faithful readers. Moving on...

Impressions of the Nokia 770

Introducing: The Internet Tablet

nokia 770
 

the Nokia 770 is an "internet tablet". I know this is a new term to most of you, but it comes to us by way of two more familiar words: Internet (as in websites, e-mail, rss, and IM), and Tablet (as in a portable computer built into a screen). Put 'em together, and the definition is exactly what you'd think: A small, portable computer, built into a screen, that is meant to access the web!

It looks like a PDA, but it's not. PDAs handle contacts, calendars, and to-dos. This puppy's all about the Net with some bonuses on the side (we'll get to those later). It's main applications are accessing webpages, reading rss feeds, and checking email. Before we get too into things, I have to tell you the coolest part...
