If you have an iPhone, chances are you’re probably often on the go. An iPhone allows you to do so much when you’re away from home, and it brings valuable information to the palm of your hand when you need it the most. And if you drive, you should definitely have a GPS app on hand to help you navigate. Here are some of the best GPS apps.

GPS by TeleNav

This is one of the best turn-by-turn GPS apps for the iPhone. The app is free to download, and a yearly subscription costs just $21.99. Enter your destination and just sit back and drive. An audio voice will announce to you turns and instructions as you need them. The 3D maps are easy to view and understand, and you can also view a detailed description of the directions. You easily touch the screen to change your destination to any point on the map. A local search will tell you where all the local restaurants and shops are. One of the best features is the cheap gas finder. It’s updated daily and will tell you where to find the best gas prices closest to your location. Easy integration with Facebook allows you to check in and create meet up events. There is also a feature that will keep track of your mileage. (more…)

Is not good time to buy iPhone 3G now. Apple is going to release the new iPhone 3.0 OS in few months later.

The iPhone 3.0 OS is a lot better than current version 2.2.1. It will be FREE for iPhone 3G and iPhone classic users, but iPod Touch users will have to pay $9.95 for the upgrade. Yet, nobody know all details until its final release.

iPhone 3.0 OS features

What so special in iPhone 3.0 OS ? This version will cover many of the iPhone users wish list. Long awaiting features as listed below.

1. Multimedia messaging – MMS was at the top of the iPhone 3.0 wish list. But for me nothing exciting  about such basic feature in most mobile phone.
2. Landscape Keyboard – Landscape mode will be available in more apps, including email.
3. Cut, Copy and Paste – It finally here. It works across all applications.
4. Stereo Bluetooth – Unexpected new feature. Just like A2DP in my Nokia N82.
5. Text Messaging – It finally support text forwarding. Also nothing special to me. My Nokia 3310 already can do that 6 years ago.
6. Real Time GPS navigation – iPhone wil become full featured turn-by-turn directions GPS device. Most probably will come through paid apps.
7. Full Search - The search feature allow you to search your calendar, mail, iPod library, notes, and contacts all at once.
8. Peer to peer network – Perhaps use for network gaming?

There are a lot more improvements not in list. Hope we get surprise on its final release. (more…)
