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.

In most of the civilized world it’s illegal to pay for blood or organs… that is unless you are paying $4.99 in the app store for this blood spattering festival of disemboweling fun. This is the iPhone tie in to the exciting new Starz series that premiers Friday January 22nd. The series carries a mature rating as it attempts an honest and gritty depiction of the era. Well, the game carries on several of the bloodiest elements that the pilot episode showcased (available for free viewing at starz.com) onto your iPhone and almost splatters the red liquid of life off the screen and onto your fingers.

Rockstar has finally delivered GTA to the App Store. I am a big fan of the GTA genre and I started playing the series since Grand Theft Auto III, almost 9 years ago. The game took place in Liberty City, an invented city that looked a bit like New York. Actually I must admit that the ending level of this game is the best I have ever played in my life. GTA is cool for its great story lines, characters, action, music and humor of course.

I am very excited that GTA has come to the iPhone but I hold my breath about the playability with a touch screen.

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.
