Isn't the app a little too pricey for the average iPhone user?

Now that Google is offering free turn-by-turn on the latest Android build (Eclair), I wonder what will happen to the Tom Tom app/iPhone turn-by-turn in general.

All the GPS stocks got crushed over the past couple of trading sessions. Rough times indeed.

BTW have you had a hands on test with the map app? Want to write a blog entry on this blog? :-)

Lead Tide SIM Reader

By
I recently came across a cheap little device for reading SIM cards . It was available from Meritline for less than USD 5 with free shipping. Curious to see what it was like, I ordered one. The device came in a small package along with a mini CD containing drivers. The packaging advertised the device as the LEAD TIDE Sim reader . Like most things these days, it's made in China. The device has a USB 1.1 interface. There was no product code or number anywhere on the packaging. Installing the drivers for the device turned out to be harder than I expected. The mini CD's autorun installed some stuff but Microsoft Windows XP couldn't install any suitable driver for the device. The mini-CD had several top level directories with what appeared to be product codes but I couldn't match any to the device itself since it had no product code. Google searches revealed that I wasn't alone in my endeavors to get the device working . Further digging revealed pointers to some thir...
