Pretty interesting app. This looks similar to “Locly“. Its original price is $2.99, the launch price is just $0.99. Might be for a limited period though. Let me get to the features and few screenshots of this app now.
Over to the developer:
One of the best features of the iPhone is that it’s able to determine your current location. Find food, places to shop, fun things to do and much more with just a few taps. Then quickly get driving directions to your destination through a familiar Maps user interface.
Features
Includes over 600 categories… find whatever you want without any typing
Find places around your current location, any of your contacts, or anywhere in the world
This insight comes from Gearlive.com. These guys have found that the 2.1 SDK throws some insights on the upcoming additional features in the GPS module of iPhone 3G. The present feature list under iPhone 3G GPS is just the beginning. More features would get added with every firmware release. Here is what gearlive has to say:
A few new things we are seeing in this version of the software is the addition of a bunch of Core Location features that track the direction you are heading, and the speed you are traveling. Looks like we might see a turn-by-turn GPS app after all on the iPhone 3G.
The new iPhone 3G’s GPS mapping unit is as powerful as in dedicated devices, battery life the best in its class and the much wanted cut-and-paste is still a possibility, is what ApplerInsider reports. This comes as a relief to many iPhone enthusiasts around the world. The most important being the cut-and-paste feature which is amongst the top list of wanted-features on iPhone.
As for other features on the iPhone wish list, many of these are limited more by time and current implementation, according to Joswiak. A long-requested ability to cut and paste, among other features, is said to be absent only because Apple had to prioritize which features it added to the iPhone 2.0 firmware and iPhone 3G before launch. The official doesn’t say if or when the feature would be implemented.
Yes, Engadget has confirmed that 3G iPhone firmware will have tri-band HSDPA and GPS. So this is good news. Here is what Engadget talks about:
We have it from a reliable source that a version of the 3G iPhone’s firmware has been released — possibly for carrier partners currently field-testing the device — and has since been dissected. While nothing is ever guaranteed, in combing through the raw data, we think we got more than enough information on the low-level hardware and drivers that run the device to make some informed conclusions about what we can expect: quad-band GSM support (as we currently have), A-GPS (as we’d already gotten from another source), and tri-band UMTS / HSDPA — which would make the new iPhone(s) 3G-capable in just about every market in the world. Hardware details after the break. We’re through the looking-glass, people!
Hi, I have been using this awesome invention called iPhone in Bangalore, India from November 2007 and have gone nutzzz over this.
Nuts to an extent that I have started my own blog on iPhone. I will be covering various developments happening around Apple iPhone. Will cover everything and anything which is even remotely connected to the iPhone. But will put more emphasis on iPhone news and buzz from an Indian perspective.
