Apple patent may lead to phones finding themselves and more
Wouldn't it be great if your cellphone company spent a few more bucks to give you fewer dropped calls and better service?
Call us cynical, but we know that's about as likely to happen as an invasion of Mars.
But how about trying to make the reality of things easier? This Apple patent, as reported by Appleinsider, covers a system that will check to see when your call is about to lose coverage, and automatically notify you and your caller that the call may be dropped.
And, to make things even better, if you lose your Bluetooth keys or phone, this system will track them and tell you when they are near or far.
Looks like life may indeed becomre easier for the absent-minded and those who live in dangerously bad cellphone areas, both of which happens to describe me -- and probably even you.
