Take THAT, Nokia Maps.
Google has updated Google Maps for Mobile to version 2.2, bringing a great new feature – Transit.
Transit is like the ‘Driving Directions’ feature of the previous version of GMM, but focused on public transport. Give the app two locations and it will try to calculate the best public transport journey between them. [...]

Nokia to hold open source expo
Wednesday, July 30, 2008 Leave a Comment

Wednesday, July 30, 2008 Leave a Comment
Finally! You can relax now, Apple iPhone owners. Your long nightmare of not having Copy ‘n’ Paste is over!
Just kidding, of course. There is no way Apple would let such a major user interface change out of the door without much handwringing and second guessing. They certainly wouldn’t let some fly-by-night third party outfit like [...]
Motorola charts previously unimagined depths of hideousness
Wednesday, July 30, 2008 4 Comments
Because we are feeling a bit mean spirited today, we are going to point our finger at the new Motorola i775 and guffaw malevolently at its mirror cracking fugliness.
We’re not even going to bother investigating the specs beyond saying that it’s sort of RAZResq (and so at a guess we are going to say 2MP [...]

Wednesday, July 30, 2008 Leave a Comment
Though they seem to be firmly behind us now (touch wood), regular readers will know that our iPhone 3G experience has not been without its woes. And by woes we mean, repeated crashing followed by ludicrously long back-up/restore times.

Not sure what to make of this – is it a genuine accident, or is Apple just riffing on Charlie & The Chocolate Factory’s Golden Tickets?
A chap’s mum bought an iPhone, took it home and – after registering it – discovered that there were three mysterious photos already on the phone.
Two are blurred, but the [...]

Monday, July 28, 2008 Leave a Comment
Well, that didn’t take long. Just a couple of weeks after the launch of the iPhone App Store, ‘unauthorised’ copies of apps and games are beginning to find their way onto people’s phones and crackers are finding their way around the barriers that Apple has erected.
The most simple workaround is possible due to a slight [...]
