Those new phones are a mystery to me.
My young bloke was adjusting the set top box and rabbit ear aerial on my TV recently.
Asked -which way is Mt Tassie (where the signals come from)--i pointed roughly out the window.
Then i said --we need a compass.
Geez--in seconds-he turned the blaardy phone into a compass.lol.................Richo.
I used the compass once, it was handy! It wasn't my phone...I refuse to add another LARGE bill to my monthly communications bills. TV, phone, and internet, $160. Cell phone $30 every 3 months and that's where I draw the line. Although I have another laptop, cell, and pager that I don't pay for...but refuse on principle to pay another $80 a month.
Beware of the iphone...it is constantly tracking you and sharing that info with other sites. A jealous spouse can add an app that tracks you in real time and shows your exact location at all times....even when it's shut off. Info can be pulled off it by credit card scammers. The mic and camera can be activated from anywhere....a mobile spy.
Also...be careful not to post pictures taken with it. Unless you've disabled the feature it shows the exact location the picture was taken. I've met more than a few on the net who would gladly use it against you if they could. And then I'd have to find them, lol.
