Only a few days after the serious iPhone 3G hysteria started there are some patterns to see in how Apple and the local gsm providers deal with things concerning the new Apple fanboy toy. Next to that there are some technical issues. In total:
distribution -> soup kitchen style, people in line to get a glimpse [...]
Dutch local time (19.00h) DIN will be online and watching different sources to stay up-to-date about the new Apple iPhone. We hear stories about people still buying the ‘old’ one (if available), not knowing there is a new version coming very very soon.

Switching from one computer to another isn’t always easy. But finally switching platform from Windows to Mac OS, well, that’s a - well thought through - revolution!
The search for holy grail software is not over, but there is one flaw in the ocean of Mac software: gps and/or geocaching related software. I don’t say [...]

To my big surprise the biggest and most expensive versions (SG3 and SG4) look a lot like the Magellan eXplorist series.
It seems that SkyGolf made a deal with Magellan and did put own firmware in the [...]
This is no new news, but to me it is, to be very honest. Okay, it slipped my mind, but René did put it back…

As we are not able to get a iPhone here in Europe (and if we could, it wouldn’t work!) we have to do the job with reviews of others.
There is only one question interesting enough to ask, don’t you agree: Does the iPhone work with an external (bluetooth) gps?

Dutch newcomer CosmicNavigation is not only coming up with new personal navigation devices, according to YourNav, but also with paper maps.
