The New York Times site has a nice piece up on how high-tech items and mobile gadgets now play a huge part in Back To School preparations, for students of almost all ages.

It’s also got a nice mention of the excellent – and free! – Earthcomber product – that provides location-based information (with or without GPS device) on everything from movie showtimes, restaurants and live music, to WiFi hotspots and free maps of every city and county in the US.
