New York, Andy Prior, Feb 06 2010.

You ever get lost when going from point A to point B? Ever have that back seat driver telling you, you missed the turn they failed to tell you about, where there wasn’t anything you can do about? Ever think your always late for an event because your directions were just a little off? If any of these questions have you saying “Yes” in your head then this review of NDrive is for you. So buckle up and let’s take it out for a spin.

I was reading an interesting news article from pocketgames this morning, where they unveiled hints in the code to a new device called the N89, which includes video codec for 720p.

720p means basically that the resolution is 720 pixels vertical by 1280 pixels horizontal with progressive scan. It has a widescreen aspect ratio of 16:9.

Apple just release iTunes 9.0.3 which includes the new iPhone OS 3.1.3.

The update is quite minor and doesn’t hint for a new iPhone in the near future. It reports to improve the accuracy of the reported battery level on iPhone 3GS. Unfortunately not the battery drainage problems some users report when activating push-mail. iPhone OS 3.1.3 resolves and issue where third-party apps wouldn’t launch in some instances. And last but not least, it fixes a bug that may cause an app to crash when using the Japanese Kana keyboard.

In the Apple forums you can find reports of users that have more space usage in iTunes now, with a solution posted by user wjosten.

Fullpower Technologies, the global leader for mobile sensing solutions, announces MotionX-GPS Drive 3.0 further improving the iPhone’s turn-by-turn navigation experience.

We just received the following email;

It is with the deepest regret that we hereby notify you that the global navigation of Nav4All and the Tracking & Tracing will go offline in 3 days. The reason for the same is that the data licence agreement with Navteq (a 100% Nokia subsidiary) was not extended, in a totally unexpected manner. It is not possible to implement data from another supplier in our Nav4All systems within the short term. The Nav4All navigation system was developed for Navteq data. Nav4All has therefore been constrained to stop.

Business Card Reader is the third app we reviewed from Shape Services and this month. After Charlie being very enthusiastic about IM+, now it is my turn to see if Business Card Reader is from the same quality.

I have a pile of business cards on my desk, and I never have them with me when I really need them. I hate walking around with thousands of things, and it’s one of the main reasons I have the iPhone. I was curious to see if BC Reader is the solution for this problem.

I’m a bit behind on reviews I’m SUPPOSED to be doing, but I’ve got a ton of little apps that I’ve wanted to write a blurb about so I figured I’d at least get them out.  The fact that most were written and just sitting in my drafts folder waiting to be sent really sealed the deal…

Usually I wait till the end of a review to become opinionated about an Application. After having used IM+ from Shape Services it is difficult for me to hold back my feelings. It is said that it takes 10,000 oysters to find a pearl. I have found that the same holds true for iPhone apps. I have installed hundreds of Apps and there is only a handful that I still have on my device, much less I use every day. IM+ has now joined that select group of applications I use several times a day. The All-in-One-Messenger combines messaging from Skype, AOL, MSN, Twitter, Facebook, Yahoo!, Google Talk, Jabber, ICQ and MySpace, into one complete solution.
