Coming Soon to an iPhone near you
We get sent apps for review fairly regularly, some good, some bad and some that have nothing to do with New Zealand AT ALL, however today I received an email from the same team that developed the Yellow App (Smudge Apps) simply saying “Thought you’d like to have a play with the new iPhone app we’ve been working on for NZ…Let me know what you think. We’re pretty happy with it”.
Well instead of just telling them, how about I tell you good folks too…. Read More
Power Up!
The Mophie JP is an external pack that the iPhone fits into at the bottom to power the phone. The advertising claims to double your power supply and I found with a few weeks usage that this is in fact correct. Read More
Announcement
Ouch. Did you hear that? That was the sound of a hundred hearts missing a beat over at TomTom / Sygic / ALK headquarters. Google has just announced an updated version of Google Maps for Android that includes built-in turn-by-turn GPS navigation that makes use of all the technologies already present in Google Maps such as its satellite imagery, StreetView, and even voice search… all free. And according to TUAW, the iPhone version has been submitted to Apple where it is currently awaiting approval.
Mine. All mine!
Sorry folks, but this story is a little different to usual. Steve received an Ikonic Edge pouch to review but when it arrived I jumped upon it and claimed it as my own! However that hasty ownership decision came with a big catch, in that I now had to write my thoughts and feelings on the product! Hit the ‘read more’ link to find out how it fits in with the mystery (to men, at least) that is a woman’s handbag.
New plans
Telecom have changed the mobile data options available to users, slashing the number of options available to users beyond the 240MB plan.

iPhone 3G price drop
Vodafone just tweeted a price drop for the iPhone 3G 8GB on their $80 and $130 plans. On a 24-month term the device is now priced at $199 and $0 respectively, down from $399 and $199. Note this is for the 3G (previous generation model) not the 3GS. Still interested? Hit ‘read more’ for the link and then let us know what you think in the comments.
UPDATE: My bad. There are also price drops for the 3GS in both 16GB and 32GB flavours. The 16GB drops from $599 to $399 on the $80 plan and from $399 to $199 on the $130 plan. The 32GB drops from $799 to $599 and from $599 to $399 respectively. Hit the link for more details. (Thanks, Nordy!)
Meet the family
It may only be spring, but the apples are falling. In price, that is! We may be an iPhone site, but we couldn’t let this go by without shouting about it. Apple have just announced a refresh of their MacBook, iMac and Mac Mini product lines and they bring with them substantial savings over last year’s range. If you’re in the market for a new computer, now looks like a pretty spectacular time to do it.
