Sept 9th Apple Event - Swing and a Miss
September 10, 2008 – 11:45 am
The Apple event came and went and my stab at the Apple rumor mill was wrong. Strike that - half wrong. Apple did indeed announce everything I mentioned except the TomTom software.
Notice I said announced and not released. The iPhone 2.1 software will not be released until Friday and TomTom cannot release any GPS Navigation software until after this release. Granted they could have announced it to be released at a later date buy alas the famous Jobs “One More Thing” never came to pass. For details on what was released see ArsTechnica.
It is certainly possible that TomTom or another GPS navigation company will release software for the iPhone 3G in the near future. Personally I can think of no better reason to upgrade from my original iPhone.

The GPS functionality, or lack thereof, is a feature that really needs to be added to the Apple iPhone (amongst others).
Still don’t have great AT&T service in my area and the few people I know that do have the iPhone love it anyway.
My question is: What about this “Genious” music selector and do you think that it will be as good as Pandora.com or Last.fm?
