Does the iphone support 3G, and does it have inbuilt support for GPS? Oh dear it looks like people are going to start getting lost again if all they have is an iphone, unless they are fortunate to live and move about in WiFi hotspots. Of course they could always pop into an Internet Café, and download a Google map, but that’s not much use if you don’t know where you are! What about connectivity and accessing business gazetters or Google Maps online from an iphone? Will software such as mgmaps run on the iphone? Whilst the iphone may seem cool it’s a lot of money for a fancy phone that can’t run many really useful existing applications such as AF Track, mgmaps etc. I know S60 is not perfect and could do with improvements, but the lack of 3G support for the iphone is a real disadvantage. Does OS X the iphone operating system support threads and true multitasking? I would be interested to know, but I am not going buy one just to find out! Lastly how good are the iphone browser capabilities and does it support .Net applications? At least with my old Nokia out of date in terms of a user interface as it may be, I can run mgmaps, AF Track and Tom-Tom all on the one device and until I can get similar functionality on new phone I am not going to upgrade!
