iPhone app: TomTom gets going

TomTom, the popular GPS navigation brand, has just unveiled its own iPhone application for the U.S. I’m not sure what took so long for this to arrive — TomTom first announced it last June at WWDC — but now that it’s here, the app looks pretty good.

iPhone App: Google Latitude debuts for iPhone 3.0

Nothin’ but air: US Airways gets Wifi

I used to enjoy flying. It was a good time to unplug, catch up on some reading, or enjoy bonding time with a pal. I was even one of the few people who liked airplane food, as it used to be delivered, if not piping hot, then at least always with a...

Re: Nav companies falter in light of Google Maps Navigation

The reason Google can give away this app is they recently stopped using mapping from TeleAtlas and started using their own mapping. Now they don't have to pay per copy fees for the turn by turn maps. TeleAtlas maps were created through intensive...

Re: Nav companies falter in light of Google Maps Navigation

hmm, I don't know. I for one like having a dedicated GPS in my car. To start....I talk on the phone a lot in the car so I sort of need an independent unit. Furthermore...I am TERRIBLE with directions so if I got a call when I was using this...

Re: Re: Thursday News Roundup: HTC Pure for a penny; Motorola Droid picture leaked

actually it's good marketing waiting a while before making a cameraless version. Think about it, a camera phone retails for about $50-$100 more than a non camera phone. Why give consumers the option of getting the same phone minus the camera when...
