Recently, Shape Services asked us to take a look at their remote desktop client offering: RDM+.  Having already run through a comparison of two of the major players in the iPhone remote desktop client arena, I was up to give it a run through. Spoiler alert: my poor co-reviewers missed out on a great app.

DataViz attempts to fill a very large hole in functionality for mobile business users. Editing word docs on the go is a very important part of life for any mobile professional.  With that said, syncing your documents and getting them into a third party app is a very tough hurtle to overcome for IPhone developers. Apple doesn’t provide the option to do this from within the native mail application. Therefore, IPhone users are unable to create/edit a native word document or even send that document as an attachment.

A new year brings a new iPhone, which is for sure when Apple sticks to its current iPhone release cycle. To sum up the releases of the iPhone;

iPhone 4GB / 8GB June 29 2007
iPhone 8GB/16GB Feb 05 2008
iPhone 3G 8GB/ 16 GB July 11 2008
iPhone 3G S 16GB/32GB June 19 2009

There is one date that stands out from the others and that is Feb 05 2008, with the storage increase of the original iPhone to 16GB after the 4GB has been discontinued in September 2007. If the current rumors of the iPhone 3G S 8GB edition are true, then this year we can have again a double iPhone release. Around February the lower storage version, to put prices down even further, and in the summer the iPhone ‘4 G’.

The Turn-by-Turn voice guided GPS app market keeps extending in a rapid speed. Yesterday we covered the NDrive clone Ituran, thinking to not have GPS news for the coming weeks, to find out today that there are again two new Turn-by-Turn GPS apps.

Falk Navigator

Falk has already lots of city maps in the App store and now they are combining this with a GPS app. The software looks exactly like CoPilot Live, the views, the maps, the menus. You can purchase In App City Guides for 3,99 Euro which integrate with the GPS application. So it is a combination of CoPilot and Flak maps.

Last year was really the breakthrough for the Turn-by-Turn Voice guided GPS applications, appearing first on the Market was Navigon with Sygic running up closely. These two apps did set a new standard to beat. This has been attempted later on by iGO My way, TomTom, GMap, CoPilot Live and NDrive, all having their own selling points.

Anyone already heard about Ituran? Me neither, but they have just entered the App Store with a GPS edition for DACH; Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Over the years the iPhone and its OS has evolved fast and stacked with new features. It isn’t so easy anymore to know every little detail of your beloved gem.

Yesterday I was reading a new iPhone tip and that gave me the idea to create a little quiz, to test if you are a real iPhone 3G S Pro User or not.

It takes a few minutes to conduct the test. Afterwards you can see the right answers and maybe learn some things you didn’t know yet. Have fun!

Test me dude!
