There's a load of great tech news happening out there every day, and, unfortunately, we just can't cover it all. Here are a few of the other noteworthy things we saw today on our never-ending journey through the wild, wild Web.

  • A new study from Nielsen shows that the mobile Web is as difficult to navigate as old-school Web sites were back in 1994. Sure, zipping around the Web on an iPhone or Palm Pre isn't too bad, but have you tried using the Web on a flip phone lately? At least we aren't using frames any more. [Textually]
  • Still unsure about which GPS device to get? Lifehacker has compiled a list of its top five. [Lifehacker]
