Apparently there was a deal where CLinton cards were selling £15 Itunes vouchers for £10 (now gone) and a few people thus got it for £40... For nav I find the maps app fine - used to reading maps so don't find I need anyone telling me to turn right, left etc... Incidentally have you tried the streetview in the maps app - not obvious (icon on left of pin location) but is really good on the iphone..I think there are troubles with some of the Iphone satnav apps where you have to re-enter the journey again if you get a call mid navigation - which is crap really...The main bonus of having it in your phone though is less things to carry (good) and if they include live updates/traffic shizzle in it (which they dont yet..). May be tempted if the next version of it irons out some of those bugs...
have also noticed that the maps app on the iphone now colours the motorways if there is a blockage etc.,. orange for slow and red for closed
slightly off topic, but genius article.
write something on a Sony Vaio PC laptop which seemed to be running a special slow-motion edition of Windows Vista specifically designed to infuriate human beings as much as possible. Trying to get it to do anything was like issuing instructions to a depressed employee over a sluggish satellite feed. When I clicked on an application it spent a small eternity contemplating the philosophical implications of opening it, begrudgingly complying with my request several months later. It drove me up the wall. I called it a bastard and worse. At one point I punched a table.
I know Windows is awful. Everyone knows Windows is awful. Windows is like the faint smell of piss in a subway: it's there, and there's nothing you can do about it. OK, OK: I know other operating systems are available. But their advocates seem even creepier, snootier and more insistent than Mac owners.
