Gizmos Apple – iPhone in Business – Profiles – ArtusLabs.
Well it just reinforces the point I’ve been harping on about forever (stop yawning already!) that the iphone replaces a whole bunch of other gadgets, especially while travelling. For instance, we just sold our portable GPS unit on ebay. Although we don’t have a turn-by-turn voice navigation app installed yet, we’ve found Google maps a more than adequate replacement. Two examples of the mobile navigation apps available are:

TomTom is said to be working on one for release as well.
Is this the end for Sat Nav?

It’s safe to come back, I’m as happy as Chicken Little with a crate of Red Bull – iWork 09 and iLife 09 arrived!!!!

The first thing I launched was iPhoto 09… holy map-making-photo-software Batman!!! After installing it asked me if I wanted to add locations for my photo library. The next thing I know I’m looking at a map of our corner of Australia with pins in all the places I’ve taken photos with my iphone. Clicking on the pin showed the photos taken at that location.
I haven’t even had a chance to look at the new photo books but apparently there are now travel ones that include maps or locations. This is going to be fabulous for any traveller who wants to document their adventures.
I also had a quick delve into the face recognition aspect. I was fascinated by who the program thought looked most like each other – might settle a few family debates!
