The response.......
So we said once we got a response about the TomTom car kit charging issue we would let you know. Well here it is, the “official” response from TomTom. Now sit down, get a coffee and be prepared for a bit of a read as this may take a while….
Jade Software - pic from stuff.co.nz
The Dominion Post have posted a story on stuff.co.nz today about Jade Software, a Christchurch-based programming house, that has produced eight iPhone apps (so far) as part of an experimental project designed to “take [employees] outside of their comfort zone”. Pretty inspiring stuff, and a good read. Hit ‘Read More’ for the link.
It doesn't want to charge whilst using any of these!
Ok so recently I went on a trip from Christchurch to Dunedin, the perfect opportunity for me to play with my TomTom car kit and really give the tun-by-turn apps a run for their money…. or so I thought.
iGO My Way
Another day, another GPS turn-by-turn navigation app! Or at least that’s the way it seems with so many coming along recently. This time we’re looking at iGO My Way 2009 from NNG Global Services of Hungary. By now the turn-by-turn GPS navigation app market is becoming pretty saturated with some very solid offerings from reputable companies already on the table, so any new entrant is going to have to put out something pretty compelling to compete with the established choices — so does iGO cut it? Read on for our review.
Having Issues?
Now I am sure there are a lot of people who just got their iPhone so continuing on with our iPhone Basics posts (it’s been a while since we did one) we thought we’d give people the heads-up on the differences between Lock, Shut Down, Force Quitting and Resetting your iPhone. You’d be surprised to know how many people don’t know how to turn their phone completely off. When we say ‘Switch off’ or ‘reboot’, we mean completely off, not “locking” the phone where you simply press the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your phone. Below is an iPhone Basics on this and also how to force quit apps and do a soft reset.
Engadget iPhone App
I know, I know, why are we posting about another international blog and their app. Why are we posting to tell you about it when you more than likely already read Engadget or TAUW and already know about the app. Well because it’s an app which we believe no discerning iPhone owner should be without.
So you got a new iPhone for Christmas, huh? Lucky you! Learning how to use your iPhone is the easy part, but there are some essential things you need to know to get the most out of your new toy and to make it safe. Here are our ten golden rules. Read More

Happy Holidays!
To all our readers, we at iPhonewzealand would just like to extend our heart-felt wishes for a very Merry Christmas for you and all your families. 2009 has been a great first year for us and we really appreciate all the support you’ve given us. The positive feedback we’ve had throughout the year and the blinding work coming out of New Zealand’s development community is what keeps us going, and we’ve really enjoyed giving something back to the kiwi iPhone community with our Big Christmas Giveaway competition. We’ll be raising our glasses in your honour and are really looking forward to 2010! Posts to the site are likely to be a thin on the ground between now and the new year, but we hope you’ll be with us when we’re back in full swing in the new year.
