Mobile GPS with nickels n’ dimes
More CTIA notes. I continue to see a number of mobile phones starting to offer integrated GPS capabilities. This is great and I love it. I have a little portable TomTom One I carry around on trips and don’t know how I lived without it. The prospect of having this all integrated into my mobile, […]
