18 August 2009

“TomTom for the iPhone”, the GPS app for the iPhone, is out and being sold at $99, one of the most expensive apps released by Apple. Already touted to replace GPS devices, TomTom for the iPhone contains maps for the United States and Canada.
Other features of TomTom for the iPhone include: voice-enabled turn-by-turn directions, “Tap and Go”, one-touch navigation for contacts in the address book of your iPhone, an establishment finder for restaurants, gas stations, and the like, and “IQ Routes” which determine the most efficient route based on historical data from a million other drivers and actual data on road speed.
Though there have existed other GPS programs on Apple’s App Store, TomTom for the iPhone has already reached the number two spot as the most popular GPS application that Apple has to offer. It is the only GPS application with hardware support, from a car windshield mount, a speaker, GPS booster, to its own charger.
Sooner or later, developers and consumers alike expect TomTom for the iPhone to release updates that will fix minor glitches – and to replace the typical standalone GPS.

New Outlook for Mac

Outlook for Mac will soon replace the current e-mail and calendar program in the Mac Office package, Entourage. Some differences of the Windows version of Outlook deal with the Mac version having more support for more Exchange features, like public folders and features highlighting rights management.

When Eric Wilfrid, General Manager of Microsoft’s Macintosh business unit was asked about the rumors that Microsoft might be working on mobile versions of Office for the iPhone, he had this to say:

“That’s been a popular question. No, there is no news today about any iPhone work.”

The new business edition will sell for $399.

Gadget rumors are circulating over the internet, especially that from Apple’s iTouch. As told by CNET.com, it is said that Apple is getting ready to launch a new and upgraded iPod Touch that would have a built-in camera and microphone.

This rumor have been appearing on various technology websites but Wired blog author Eliot Van Buskirk provides more credible confirmation:

“A well-connected source tells us those rumors are on the money, and that Apple’s factories in China are already manufacturing iPod Touch models with integrated cameras and microphones.”

With the added hardware upgrade of a microphone and a Skype application in your new iPhone, the iPod Touch would already stand as a VoIP phone as long as you have a Wi-Fi connection. In the future, people expect the new iPod to be enhanced with voice commands, similar to how the iPhone is packaged.

Other rumors concerning Apple circulate around the introduction of a new Apple Netbook.
