Mobile phones are getting more and more versatile.
On the one hand, you can use a modern cell phone, such as the O2 Xda II (above) to capture the material for your photoblog, like Ute does at Lemming’s Trail. The blog concentrates on Ute’s journey to and from work; like me, she works in the city center in Frankfurt and many of the photos are of scenes I see nearly every day.
On the other hand, you can use the same phone to replace an expensive, difficult to install, taxi call processing system – as described in The Inquirer. The London cab company in question, Xeta, has reduced installation costs by 25% and is more flexible as a result of swapping their dedicated terminals and PMR radio links for the new system, which also provides GPS navigation for the cabbies.
