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.

The power of stick compels you!

The power of stick compels you!

We all know that the battery-life of the iPhone is… well, a bit rubbish. Sure, there are things you can do to boost the time you get between charge cycles and yes, you do get used to charging the thing every night. But what happens if you get stuck somewhere where you can’t charge your phone or if you’re travelling and simply don’t have access to a USB port? We’ve looked before at the Mophie Juicepack which is one solution – but that thing is $160 and boy is it uuuuu-gly! Well, now we’re going to take a look at the Ecosol Powerstick which charges not just your iPhone but almost any other device you may need to inject some juice into. Let’s take a look.

Another turn-by-turn, but how does it compare

Another turn-by-turn, but how does it compare

When you think you are done with all the turn-by-turn apps, along comes another. We received a number of tip offs yesterday letting us know that NDrive New Zealand had hit the AppStore. But at a cost of $84.99 how does it fair, is it a Sygic/TomTom/Co-Pilot beater??

This is the app you're looking for

This is the app you're looking for
