Bluetooth and ActiveSync

If you're always on the go like I am, then you're probably familiar with Bluetooth. Well, I often use my XV6800 as a wireless modem with my computer (either my OQO model 02 running Vista or my Samsung Q1 Ultra UMPC running XP). You can also sync with Outlook through ActiveSync (which has been replaced with Windows Mobile Device Center in Vista).

Want a basic tutorial on how to use Bluetooth to connect to ActiveSync? Then take a look at this great HTC wiki site:

So Will the Next iPod Touch have a Built-In GPS?

Since the 3G iPhone will have a built-in GPS, will the next iPod Touch also have a built-in GPS chip? That could transform the iPod into a fully functional GPS navigation system. What do you think? I'm very eager to find out...

Excited about the 3G iPhone

I don't plan to buy an iPhone (yet). I'm a loyal Verizon Wireless customer. Besides, I need actual keyboard buttons since I do so much typing on my phone.

The main reasons why I'm so excited include the following:

1. The 3G iPhone sets a new standard for mobile devices. Although many devices have been using an internal GPS to allow navigation, when a company like Apple does it on the iPhone, such publicity makes this the new 'standard.' So, hopefully all future smartphones and mobile devices will have internal GPS chips to allow them to act like fully functional navigators.

2. Style. Apple wins when it comes to style. Forget about functionalty. Who cares if you can't replace the battery? If style matters to you, then go for the iPhone. Personally, I need to replace my battery without a screwdriver.

3. Integration of functionality. The iPhone combines several devices into one: GPS, MP3, mobile internet, PDA, phone, etc.
