On X10s Wbpage it says the Airpad 7p has a compass in it, is this true or is it a "typographical error"?
They make it sound like because it has a built in compass it can be used for navigation software but if it has no GPS receiver in it how can they make this claim? A compass only tells you what direction you are facing or where North is. A GPS receiver or Cell Phone network is the only way to track you movement.
