The Navigation Qualities Of The Sony Ericsson Xperia X1

The Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 is already making waves in the mobile phone industry as early as it was announced. A lot of multimedia features have been streaming up to this year’s mobile phones. Naturally, Sony Ericsson would not be left behind. One talked- about feature these days is a mobile communication device’s ability to give directions. In short, people are concerned about navigation features. This makes sense too because having a mobile phone as well as a GPRS device can be too much hassle and expensive. If you have navigation as well as communication capabilities in just one device, you are sure to prefer that device wouldn’t you?

Free Reverse Cell Phone Look Up

Wouldn’t it be great if you could get a free reverse cell phone look up?

Maybe, sometime in the not too distant future this may actually be possible but for now it can’t truly be offered.

There are many many sites on the web that do offer free reverse phone look ups, but these only cater to landline phones.

So why do they exist but the same isn’t possible for cell phones?

Simply, because all the landline numbers are in the public domain and so are obtainable by anyone. (Unless you are un-listed or not published)

Iphone Flunks Out At Duke University

Well it wasn’t AT&T’s west coast network, but the iPhone did manage to short circuit one, albeit much smaller, network today. The iPhone’s Wi-Fi connection appears to be causing problems on the wireless network at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina.

The built-in 802.11b/g adapters on a number of phones occasionally flood certain parts of the University’s wireless LAN with MAC address requests. This has lead to the temporary loss of signal from 12 to 30 wireless access points on different occasions.

The campus primary WLAN provider, Cisco, is currently working with network administrators who have opened a help desk ticket with Apple. However, a specific cause has yet to be determined.
