Sorry to go O/T, but I wonder if the iPod Touch uses more than that. At xmas I took a router to my in-law's (in a different part of the UK) to use it as a wireless access point. For those few days the iPod had no idea where it was located (as expected, although that router correctly identified my house when used at home). A month later we went back to the in-law's and I took the router with me again. This time the iPod correctly located itself to within about 100 metres. I can't believe that Skyhook would have been driving around cataloging wi-fi networks over xmas, particularly in rural Yorkshire. If they did, then they're certainly dedicated to their jobs. -- DoomWolf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DoomWolf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74581 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
