APPLES & ICONS & APPS, OH MY!

With Apple being the guru of everything technologically brilliant as well as everything stunningly smooth, the iPhone is an obviously essential piece of gadgetry for the tech friendly consumer. With the addition of great new fancy friendly, and best of all, FREE iPhone applications that ROCK, we can have anything we want at the tip of our fingers. From instant access to your Myspace to perusing the latest fashion and films, we have found a tool more valuable than the past ten years of technology. But with this technology, comes a great responsibility - where do I start?

WHERE ARE ALL OF THE GOOD APPS

It's hard to say!. Ok, they day that someone has to question where to find ANY apple product or service is the say that their brilliant marketing has failed and the apocalypse is soon to follow. Apple is notoriously easy, and finding great applications for the iPhone or iPod Touch is just as simple. The stock answer is that apps can be found at the iTunes Apps portion of the iTunes Store, but as most iPhone users know, the "in phone" Apps Store is usually the place to shop and buy any of the great applications.

One of the great things about the latest update to the iPhone firmware is the ability to sort between "top free applications" in any category. This saves so much time when trying to find something based on a specific topic or criteria.

Top "Free" iPhone 3.0 App - GPS Navigation


Many people have been awaiting the iPhone 3.0 release. Some were waiting on the copy and paste features, many were waiting on the push notification features of the new iPhone update, but many, if not most, were waiting for the capability of GPS Turn by Turn Navigation - including me. With the new 3.0 iPhone update, consumers get a taste of what we have been lacking thus far - a good voice prompted turn by turn, and now we have it. There are a few different iPhone apps out that boast "true" turn by turn implementation; however, many do not offer the full functionality that people were expecting. We are waiting forthe TomTom navigation iPhone app to be released later this summer, but until then we have been playing with one in particular - which we don't think is that bad. AT&T Navigator - the latest iPhone turn by turn GPS application. The AT&T Navigator is the basis service that other carriers have been offering for some time. It is just know getting to the iPhone with the latest update to firmware version 3.0.

Here are a list of things that the application offers:

1. Voice guided Turn By Turn GPS enabled direction
2. The ability to find landmarks and/or businesses within the app and navigate to them.

Some complaints are:

1. Lack of landscape mode.
2. Speaker is loud by sometimes "scratchy" sounding
3.The monthly price - $9.99/month

The app itself is free, but the service is $9.99 per month to get up to date "Live" updates about traffic and other things.

OVERALL WE GIVE THE AT&T NAVIGATOR AN B+

  8. GPS tracking devices are the simplest form of this technology; they can also be used in combination with communication technologies like radio transmission and telephony.
