Duck,
Thanks for the advice. I enjoy the iphone for a whole host of reasons. It is just that I followed my mates Nokia maps plus GPS as a walk about tool without net access. It was good for that, I wouldn't swap it for my iphone though.
I just saw a few Apps and wondered if anyone had success with them. I do not want an in car navigator or a voice over with turn by turn though.

As I've posted several times in the past, I have nothing but the most amazing respect for Apple, and think this company--over the next ten years--will achieve the growth that Microsoft enjoyed during the 1990's. Apple is a brilliant company and its management it far superior than any competitor.
At today's stock prices, AAPL has a market capitalization of nearly $180 billion. There are only three US companies valued higher than AAPL: Exxon, Wal Mart, and Microsoft.
For comparison's sake, Microsoft is valued at nearly $250 billion. Anyone want to guess if AAPL will overtake Microsoft in market capitalization in the next few years?
To compete against the dominating force of Apple's iphone, I wonder if Microsoft will take the money it was going to spend on YHOO, and buy RIMM instead? Microsoft needs to find an avenue for growth, and the current trends suggest that mobile devices are the answer.
Apple is the clear leader in mobile growth and innovation. Amazingly, out of no where, they have absolutely redefined the market for smart phones. If you haven't been to an Apple store recently, you should check it out. There is no recession at Apple, and it's so popular that they have police guarding the front of the stores.
Unbelievable company.

Not sure that would be so good... for RIMM.
Microsoft bought Danger, the makers of the incredibly popular Sidekick phone, trying to jumpstart their hip phone strategy (codename: PINK), and we all know how that went - as of a couple of weeks ago, PINK might as well be dead, Danger has lost any market credibility, and any customer trust in Microsoft with regards to data security or reliability is shot for years to come.

Quack Quack - hilariously funny how one person can so completely 'not get it', even when it's so clearly spelled out over several pages.
-------------
"The nature of the personal computer is simply not fully understood by companies like Apple (or anyone else for that matter). Apple makes the arrogant assumption of thinking that it knows what you want and need. It, unfortunately, leaves the “why” out of the equation — as in “why would I want this?” The Macintosh uses an experimental pointing device called a “mouse”. There is no evidence that people want to use these things. I don’t want one of these new fangled devices." - John C. Dvorak, 1984

iPhone goes on sale in China
Apple has officially launched the iPhone in China to relatively warm response, at least in Beijing, reports say. The device became available at 6:30PM local time on Friday, first through a China Unicom flagship store after a ceremony attended by Apple VP Greg Joswiak. Although there were no overnight lines as at some launches, just under 300 people are said to waited in front of the store for a chance to buy the product.
Less fanfare is said to have accompanied the launch at Apple's Sanlitun-area retail store, though the company did run video on a large outdoor screen, and project images along a store wall. Cold weather is said to have prompted many people to buy hot drinks and blankets as they waited for sales to begin. When asked why they chose the Apple Store instead of a Unicom outlet, customers said they hoped for better service.
Actual unit sales are expected to be relatively modest in China, not only due to the low incomes of many people but unusually high prices, which can run as much as 6,999 yuan ($1,025) for a contract-free 32GB iPhone 3GS. There are also over 1.5 million gray-market iPhones in the country, which unlike official ones are cheaper and have the benefit of a Wi-Fi receiver. Unicom has responded by offering an amnesty program, which is already said to have attracted over a million iPhone 3G subscribers.
Apple has been working on bringing the iPhone to China for over a year, but has been stymied by numerous obstacles. Chinese law forced the removal of Wi-Fi, and local carriers are said to have objected to Apple demands for things like revenue sharing or a block on carrier-controlled app stores. Because of the size of the Chinese market however, Apple is believed to have been forced to offer at least mild concessions.

iPhone climbs to 2.5% world market share
http://www.electronista.com/articles/09/10/30/phone.sales.to.bounce.back.in.fall/
Apple in two years has pushed the iPhone up to 2.5 percent of the entire cellphone market, Strategy Analytics estimates. The company has roughly doubled its share from a year ago and now has half the share of established firms Motorola and Sony Ericsson, which have remained flat at five percent. Some of the gain is likely to have come at Nokia's expense, as it shrank to 37 percent share, its lowest since the start of 2007.
