If there’s one thing I could say I miss most about my Android device after moving to an iPhone 4, it’s Google Navigation. It was free and it was awesome. There’s several free options for iPhone as well, but they’re not all that great (prove me wrong and recommend your favorite in case I missed). But a newcomer that will soon grace the US and European App Stores (already available in the UK and Ireland) looks like it may just cure my homesickness...

From here on out, any media the MPAA feels is “too new” or valuable will have the switch flipped, rendering those analog outputs on your TV, cable, or...
With all good things that technology brings us, there is a much less talked about “dark side”. Normally it deals with the freedoms or liberties that politicians wrongfully use various technologies for. At other times it’s merely for the love of money. Greed is a powerful motivator.
