[...] Once you see this video you’ll agree that it’s manufacturers like HTC who are still giving viability to the Windows Mobile operating system. Although it’s got some very droolworthy specs, it’s still not enough to sway me from my new found love for the iPhone OS. [...]

one thing iphone has and no other WM device come close is the OS. there is indeed nothing special about iphone apart that it has a build in ipod touch features. the few best things i can say about what iphone current has that no other WM device feature could come close are

1. The OS itself, admit it M$ never make good OS.
2. Best touchscreen available to date.
3. ipod features which is one of the best multimedia player out there right now.

I’ve had mine a couple of days now. I love it – it’s by no means perfect, but the app store fills a number of holes.

I also have a Tomtom and will keep that for in the car, but love the fact that if I get confused while walking in an unfamiliar town I can check my position – and how to get back to the car – without having to carry an extra gadget.

I’ve also got rid of quite a few ‘essential’ bits of paper, with all of this now in my iPhone.

Very good tip for the battery-power-deficient iPhone. It’s one of the prices that you pay for being at the forefront and having so much functionality on a device.

I’ve used PDAs with built-in GPS for about 3 years, and there’s no doubt GPS uses a lot of power – you’ve got a screen that’s always on, a GPS receiver going flat out, voice instructions and quite a bit of processing. It gets even more intense for Google Maps where a data connection is also required.

If you’re using navigation in the car (which you will, 99% of the time) just get a car power adaptor and plug it in – money well spent.

The current “GPS” functionality with Google Maps chews battery power consistently as it constantly updates your blue circle bleep. There is no time to shut down while it updates every 1-2 seconds.
I don’t believe that turn-by-turn will chew up much more battery life as it will be performing the same process, i.e. sending location data, receiving location data, updating positioning software.

Tomtom have been in the game for a while so here’s hoping for a battery / processor efficient turn-by-turn GPS app for the iPhone.

Cheers.

From what I’ve heard, the GPS is pretty battery-hungry, so it’s been designed to fire up, get coords and then shut down again. Presumably turn-by-turn would require it to be on continuously and the ban on turn-by-turn apps is to avoid problems with battery life (especially since you can’t swap the battery out for a fully charged one).
