The system has several underlying database tables, including zip codes, cities and station data. The zip code and city tables, in addition to containing information about the locations, also include the latitude and longitude for the centroid each location.

At the core, the system works based on latitudes and longitudes.

Once we have the latitude and longitude, we perform a series of calculations based on the Great Circle Calcuation (GCC), which helps us to determine distances on a curved surface (ie. the Earth - and we are assuming that it is not flat). Using the GCC, we look for stations near the latitude and longitude, based on a 100 mile radius from that point. From that list of stations, which is too inclusive, we start our process of narrowing down the results to the actual stations that can be heard.

Claims of iPhones exploding have surfaced in Britain and France, with at least one person, a teenager, sustaining an eye injury. In addition, KIRO TV in Seattle has turned up 800 pages of documents from the Consumer Product Safety Commission that include cases of burning or flaming iPods.

There have been many well-documented cases of laptop batteries bursting into flames, so it's plausible that iPhones could heat up too, given that they use the same (or similar) battery technology.

I'm on my third iPhone (having upgraded twice), and I've also owned an iPod Touch. I loved them all dearly, largely because they never exploded into flames, burning me and my family alive. Just saying.

The Booklet also has integrated Bluetooth, GPS, a webcam and an SD card reader. Nokia claims it has a 12-hour battery life.

"The presence of this internal wireless modem is why the Booklet 3G is a natural extension to Nokia's traditional phone handset product range."
