I can't imagine trying to find my way around New York without this iPhone. It's absolutely brilliant.
Latest news - seems like they really do work better in the USA than Australia

Does it work faster in New York than in Australia??
I was using Wifi at hotspots around Manhattan. There are usually a few open ones around and if not just find your nearest Starbucks (there's one on most corners). Data roaming charges are $20 per Mb.

Firmware 2.0.2 is out. Meant to fix 3G reception woes and other stuff we probably won't notice.

BTW, any of you guys got some numbers from the Dynolicious app? I haven't had a chance to run my S2000 yet but I can tell you that a plane (can't remember which one) only does the 1/4 mile in around 16 secs trapping around 165kph from memory and after that it really takes off, literally. Unfortunately I accidentally deleted the run.

So our cars will whip a plane in a 1/4 mile drag race.

Yep, and only pull about 0.26G. That's a 747 400 BTW.

I did a run with my car but I didn't strap down the phone securely, I think I ended up with a 3.xx 0-60mph time haha...and 0.6xg of acceleration. I'm just waiting for a clear evening when I can be bothered finding a road to test this app on!

World's largest iPhone!



Ok, so the picture doesn't do it justice but it's in the window of the Soho New York Apple Store and is actually a 42-inch LCD screen on it's side.
