The recent battles in mobile computing have seen the developments of some incredibly impressive features that have changed not only the way we think about our phone service, but also how we live our lives. GPS-rich features have made communication and travel more convenient than ever and information has never been more accessible. Current cell phone technology is currently as good as laptop technology was three years ago.

Following Your Pals Androids recently integrated a "Loco" application allowing users to locate friends, fathers, sisters, brothers, and more without phoning them. You can track them by simply pulling up your contact list and locating their GPS coordinates. Ever get lost in a mall or a stadium crowd? Imagine how much simpler it is to find your missing event-attendee, now.

Finding Your People Some Android devices recently included "Loco," an application that lets people find friends and relatives without even phoning them. You find their GPS coordinates by accessing your contact list. Ever get lost in a crowded street in a city like New York, London, or Amsterdam? Imagine your ease in finding your fellow traveler now.

Rev Your Engines Bluetooth already allows some people to use their phones as remote starters independent of a dealer-provided key fob. This may not be widely available at the moment, but the convenience is in the pipeline. Does your car not have a dealer provided location for that extra or hidden key? You can still warm your car on cold mornings from the comfort of your kitchen.

Easy Unlocks Some cars now feature remote, keyless starts. Most times, that requires a dealer required fob, which can be a pain to reprogram or replace, if ever lost or broken. Your cell phone can now take on that role, allowing you to start and warm your car without even having to scrape on a cold morning. This is all thanks to Bluetooth technology.
