iPhone's Navigational System


I left my blackberry for the iPhone 3G. As much as I loved my blackberry, it was way too expensive. I'm saving 30 bucks a month while having an iPhone (with the same exact features as my blackberry). While I had the blackberry, I paid 10 bucks extra for a GPS. It was alright, but I couldn't rely on it all the time. When I came back to the iPhone I realized that there was a new app for the iPhone GPS, I was so happy when I saw "Free" then later realized that I had to pay 10 bucks a month. That was bullshit. haha I can't believe it! Here is what Cnet had to say, "At this point I honestly can't decide whether to recommend MobileNavigator or not. The flat-rate pricing is a big draw, but even $69.99 seems high for what you get--especially when you can buy a standalone GPS for the same or less. (And the future $99.99 price? Too high, period.)Meanwhile, the app is missing a few too many features for my liking, though I'm glad to know many of them are in the works."

Apple iPhone 3GS overheating?


I don't have a iPhone myself so I can't really tell you if it's I had one that was overheating or whatever. But I do have friends who have a 3GS and they love it. They never once come across an overheating problem. They just tell me how much faster it is and how much 'more' they love their iPhone. By the way, great way to rub it in guys.
But in the article I read, I guess there have been cases of overheating iPhone. Sounds kind of crazy because when I think of overheating I think of a car having smoke oozing out of their hood on a hot summer day. But hey, I guess it happens on phones too? As Melissa J Perenson said, "very, very hot. Toasty doesn't even describe how surprisingly hot it got. It was too hot to even put the phone against my face." Too hot for the face? Toasty hot? Sounds pretty extreme huh?
When in use, Apple said you need to keep your iPhone between 32 and 95 degrees Fahrenheit or face possible performance issues. "Low- or high-temperature conditions might temporarily shorten battery life or cause the device to temporarily stop working properly."
Other issues that might arise include the device stops charging, the display dims or a weak cellular signal. You also might come across a temperature warning.
Apple's document said if you see the warning you need to let the iPhone cool down, though you might still be able to make emergency phone calls.

iPhone 3GS

I don't think that there is much difference from the iPhone 3G to the iPhone 3GS. I think that the only thing that stuck out was the video recording, which should have been released with the first generation iPhone. Although there is more battery life supposedly, I still don't appreciate no MMS! AT&T and Apple promised us that they would have that by the end of july, and I still see no signs that it's coming. "Since the iPhone 3GS inherits many of the features from the previous model, we'll concentrate on what's different on this device. If you need a refresher on such elements as the clock, YouTube, weather, iPod player, calculator, and e-mail, please see our iPhone 3G review. We'll start off with the new features that only the iPhone 3GS will offer. " -CNET. I still would like to believe that the "iphone pro" by gizmodo or something like that is true. That would be cool if the iphone had a physical keyboard. It looks just as good too. And it also has a camera infront of the phone, I'm guessing that it would be for new camera calling? (= I pray that Apple makes it!
