Oh, well- if so it will be easier than ever to "carry" it almost
everywhere.

How soon will they perfect GPS specifically to help me find my way to
the john in the middle of the night? :-)

Maybe one can program in all the donut shops and other "hazards" on
this thing. A few years from now, we will only shut off our ipods long
enought to talk on our cell phones and we'll all be staring at a screen
to help us navigate around the block when the dog needs to take a pee.

Remember a few years back when we all thought GPS was so miraculous?
When you would ask somebody about their boat, the first (often excited)
portion of the answer was, typically, "It's got GPS!!" Things change.


I worked on a project like that at one time in the past. Cell phones were
going to require a GPS internally for the 911 feature to tell the dispatcher
where you really were. A company we were supplying was adding a compass
also, and you could use the phone as a web browser, and point the phone in
the direction you were interested in and ask for restaurants, history of the
building, etc. Probably would have had public pee facilities programmed in
to the host computer.
