Connecting an iPhone to an xBee module

I'd like to use an iphone to monitor output from a remote source using an xBee modem (or other low power wireless device). Ideally, the iPhone can regularly poll the XBee for this information and then use it to display generate output. This is similar to the way the Nike+iPod thing works I guess but I was wondering if it was possible wi...

Wifi Triangulation

What would be the best way to triangulate a wireless network passively. Are there tools available? Algorithms? Libraries?

I'm trying to track down some bugs on a Windows Mobile 5.0 app. The testers can reproduce these bugs no problem, but I can't.

In other words I always have a hard-wired connection. I'm ...
