How much does active GPS drain the battery? Without the overhead of the gps navigator software. s ay I want to sample the gps every 2 minutes and save it to a file. how much battery power will that cost me? Will I get 10% shorter life? 20%? ..? I think this can't be answered that easy without measuring it. But you could measure it. Just try how long it takes to empty the whole battery. Once with GPS and once without. It will be noticeable by the user. You definitely don't want to do this kind of thing unless it is a feature the user is explicitly aware of and able to clearly turn on and off

We are getting ready to launch a mobile site and are wondering what the best way of testing across as many mobile browsers as possible would be?

I am building an application, where I have this little survey module, which sends out a simple sms to the phone number I give and has to collect the response(if the user fires it) and show it to me. I am using to django build my project. I have tried django-sms google code project, but I couldn't post messages back from my mobile to my server. I have browsed through many tutorials on sms-gateways/carriers. But I am lost. Can anyone help me in suggesting a tutorial about sending sms from my application(django) to any cellphone? And regarding sending sms to cellphone, would it cost me(just as

My application sends SMS messages to people, but the numbers entered in as their cell phone are sometimes land lines (this is user error or the user not really knowing if the contact number they have is a cell phone or landline.) I found a few websites that can tell me if a number is a landline or cell phone, but they do not offer programatic API's. Is anyone aware of a way a web application can figure out if a number can receive SMS messages? I guess a test SMS message is one way, but my current SMS gateway fails hard when it gets a landline number and doesn't tell me the landline number it

I would like to know how I can make a webpage that will look good in most mobile phones. For making normal webpages, I use dreamweaver cs3. I don´t really want to use emulators unless I have too. Can I not just center everything in the middle, with auto margins on both sides. When I am looking at the pages that I have made sofar, they look ok, but in a mobile phone some things get cluthered.
