@Chris from Galarina Hey, no prblem, I'm impressed with the application. I used it on a holiday and it was nice to get home and have one GPX from the whole trip.

While I have you here, could you explain if the GeoTagLog continues to log if you press the iPhone screen lock button?

It wasn't that clear to me on the iTunes store details.
For me I use Geotag log on my iPhone 3GS. It has some cool features that allow it to continue logging all day without draining the battery and it leaves my camera hotshoe free for a flash gun.

When you are finished logging, for up to 30 days after records began, it will email a GPX file with all the logging. Next you merge the photos EXIF data with the GPX data using a freeware program like flikr or googlemaps.
The software looks at the photo's created timestamp and compares it to the nearest GPS timestamp.
With Geotag logging set to record every 10 minutes, you can use the logger all day and get your GPS data to the nearest few metres. It's about £2.
@xKNGx I was just logging in to post the same thing. Looks like a fine articulated mechanism.
And just how much power will one need to send 60GHz through a wall? Hundreds of Watts?
@(Unverified) Actually BBC overseas sales account for more income than the license fee, according to the pamphlet that came with my license.
@wakeupbomb Freeview HD will only ever offer a maximum of one or two 8MHz multiplexes, with up to 4 HD channels on each. I think that works out to about 4-8 full HD channels, squeezed in between regular freeview channels.

Considering all the crud wasting valuable spectrum on regular freeview such as Bid Up TV, I'd say that was poor spectral planning that they can't be moved and reused for mainstream HD.
We Brits pay £139.50 per year as a licence fee. This pays for the BBC TV, Radio and website programming, and the maintainance and development of the infrastructure. It gives us impartial and advert free programming, and cutting edge R&D. Want to know who demonstrated the first OFDM modem used in DVB-T, LTE Downlink and WiMAX 802.16d, or who designed DAB, or who perfected low bandwidth high quality internet TV in the form of iPlayer. It was our plucky Auntie Beeb.

They have made some mistakes though, like adopting resource-hog Realplay as their codec of choice, using 2MHz RF channels in it's network planning for DVB-T meaning the majority of HD will have to come by satellite attempting to keep the spectrally inefficient MP2 for DAB+.

Wow. I am an angry nerd today. :-(
Why would you buy this over a Nokia? It'd have to be hella cheap.
And Microsoft allowed them to use those IE and WMP icons?
The Volt also came to Cars N Coffee, Irvine CA on Saturday morning. (Thanks Max)

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"What's the best gaming laptop for under 1,500 bucks? I had my eye on the P7805u (Gateway), but it seems Best Buy has run out for the time being. Also, as a secondary question, I like the specs on brands such as iBUYPOWER and CyberPower and the like, but are they reliable? I'm a little worried about buying labels that aren't huge like Dell, Gateway, etc. Thanks!"
