Network World Fusion 09/10/03

LG Electronics has come out with an Moslem wireless phone - it can show the user which way Mecca is so he can perform his daily prayers. Interestingly, the phone does not do this via GPS - it uses a built-in compass.

Via Beth, who finds the concept interesting even though she has no need to know which way Mecca is: "Hopefully, in a few years, they will be doing something more useful to me ... such as locating the nearest Starbucks."
