    The real question, though, is how many of your friends are including GPS data with their tweets? I mean, I suppose if you're on Twitter you're already pretty tech uninhibited, but location-aware-saturation hasn't yet reached the same level of comfort as information-saturation.

    I mean, it's no fault of the app. I'm just curious how many of the people I follow I'd actually find broadcasting the location of their tweet-dumps.

    @OCEntertainment: I think you'll see it quite a bit more as the tech behind it becomes more ubiquitous.

    Until a sorority girl is viciously and brutally raped and murdered after tweeting "omg totally drunk hopping in the shower."

    ....I don't care how good word prediction software gets, there is no chance that a drunk sorority girl is going to make it through that sentence without a single misspelled word.

    In reply to Cellphones Mean Nothing to Londoners, Who Lose Over 10,000 in Taxis Each Month
    I recently had a "night out on the town" and thought my BlackBerry had been nicked from my bag in the coat check room, and went mental on them the next day when I realised.

    Turns out, yep, I left it in the cab. Luckily I was reunited with it, but it was still very embarrassing.

    On the upside - "Four in five of the London cabbies quizzed said that owners of gear lost in taxis were reunited with their kit once they had found kit at the back of their vehicle."

    "It used to be small items like brollies and briefcases..."
    "brollies" = umbrellas (Is this word used outside of the UK?)

    I left my phone in a sushi bar in Birmingham a while back and didn't realise until I was on the train back home. Luckily I managed to borrow a phone, call home and get my mum to ring it and ask them to keep it there so I could get my friend to pick it up the next day. Said friend had left his phone in a taxi before and we had to trek to a police station in the middle of no where to retrieve it only to find out they'd closed their lost and found for the weekend.

    In reply to Dolphin Browser Gives Droid the Multitouch It Should've Had From the Start
    If you do have Cyanogenmod, the browser already does multitouch zoom. And I agree, it's really not a big deal -- I always use the double-tap zoom toggle anyway. (I dislike the zoom buttons eating a part of screen real estate at semi-random moments.)

    Because phones, like movie stars, are disappointing if you can't multitouch them.

    In reply to Unknown iPhone Model Number Being Field Tested in San Francisco
    I have a question. As many AT&T people probably are, I'm able to upgrade to the 3GS in two weeks.

    At the same time, I also don't want to upgrade too early if there's something better coming down the pike. What's your advice, Giz commenters? Should I wait, or just get the 3GS, knowing that it will likely be just fine?

    @Jeremy: If you have a 3G now and it still works fine, wait 'til the new one is released in the summer. The 3GS is really only an incremental upgrade to the 3G.

    @Jeremy: Before deciding to wait for the 'next thing' determine if there is any need that the 3GS does not fill for you. If you can't think of anything, then you probably don't need to wait. It is not worth the effort of getting the newest of everything when you won't use the added features.

    @travisco_nabisco: That's a good point. The only thing I'm concerned about is storage space. I need every meg I can get and if they come out with a 64 gig iPhone I'll be pissed.

    @Dayv: I'm very interested in the autofocus camera/video parts.
