I just want to throw my hat in the ring in case Bungie happens to read this. F you Bungie. I will not give you any more of my money. They used their name and Halo's name to push a $20 game for $60 on their fans while they rest on their laurels. Other developers can provide these things for while charging more appropriate prices. I can't wait 'til the UPS guys delivers my copy of MW2!

I'm seeing it. The new screenshots view seems a lot more tablet-friendly, if you know what I'm saying...

Or the barrier to entry becomes too high and people simply stop using it. Google is free. They're mobile app is free. They have mobile-optimized pages that are constantly being further developed. Plus, I actually know how to use it! It may not get me the information that Alpha can, but it gets me somewhere that has the information and the little bit of extra legwork is worth saving $50 to me.

Almost all the Verizon ads call out AT&T AND the iPhone. I think Apple is more defending its flagship product into the holiday shopping season. Apple might also be defending their position to eschew CDMA in favor of the more international GSM. My loyalty is to the iPhone. I love the platform and would probably follow it wherever it went. I don't know why people get involved in these holy wars with carriers. News flash: they all want as much of your money as you're willing to give while providing the least amount of service possible. Every carrier sucks!

I like Canon's Photostitch software that comes with new cameras. It works fairly well and will even make a 360º QuickTime VR of the images if you wrap all the way around. Probably the biggest limitation with this software is that the panos are linear (you can't go up and down). But hey, it's not bad for free (assuming you bought a Canon camera).

@Greg I'm sure their profit margins on this are way higher than those of their dedicated units. I don't know if they had to rewrite the software from scratch, but even if they did, it couldn't have been much for them. And I'm sure they got plenty of assistance (read: special treatment) from Apple. Beyond the map license fees (I'm assuming they don't create their own map data), the rest is gravy.

$99?! HAHAHAHA. Turn-by-turn is nice, but not $99 nice. I'll stick with the built in Maps app. It works pretty well considering it's included with the app. It would be nice if Apple went ahead and made their own, but I'm not gonna hold my breath waiting. I honestly think this is a pretty naive move by Tomtom. They'll soon realize that most iPhone users aren't willing to shell out an additional hundred bucks on top of the phone and service fees. I'm sure they'll drop the price but it'll still be too much for most people. I hope a smaller developer comes along and undercuts Tomtom significantly.

A wizard? Hardly. In fact, I usually solve both cubes simultaneously with both hands while strumming with my toes. Don't get me wrong, though, kid's got a little talent...

Idea for fixing the economy: Give all your monies to me and leave me in charge. I'm very fiscally responsible.
