Our new podcast: Meet...
We know. Podcasts are so last year - but this one you won't want to miss. Whether it’s a rumor that won’t die, a new product announcement, or just a really good Macintosh or iPhone app find that we have to let you know about, we’ll make sure it’s covered on Appletellcast.
iPhone App Reviews
iPhone Apps. They were great when the App Store was first announced and we could all pick and chose what we wanted, but the number is now overwhelming. Here at Appletell, we'll detail the great iPhone apps we find, and steer you clear from those that aren't worth it even if they're free.
iPhone Game Reviews
As Apple turns the iPhone into one of the most popular gaming devices, the staff of Appletell--gamers and Apple fans alike--are here to help you get the most entertainment value out of your app store purchases.
Today, Google released their free GPS guidance app for Android 2.0, called Navigation. But rumor, or CNET, has it that the app will make its way to iPhone at some point in the future.
Google posted a video today on YouTube to demonstrate all the features of the beta Navigation app, and it’s really quite amazing. Navigation is GPS guidance Googlefied. Just like on Google.com, you can misspell all of your destinations, or, like the Google app for iPhone, just speak them. There’s free access to traffic data. The app renders its maps in 3D, and will even put their satellite view over the map so you can see what the area around you looks like from the sky. Oh yeah, you probably guessed already, but you can search for anything, such as restaurants, along your route or close by, as well.
Here’s the video for Android phones, in case you’d like to view it.
I can only hope this makes it to the iPhone. Many first time users guess, erroneously, that the iPhone has a GPS navigation app built in. This could fix that, especially if the way it makes it to the iPhone is to replace the Maps app. And considering that Google and Apple worked together to create that app, it’s possible. Here’s to hoping.
