iPhone ad nauseum

Ad nauseum indeed. I hope this is the last iPhone update for awhile.

Yesterday I posted about AT&T's limited 3G coverage. This morning I came across this on Gizmodo:

"By the end of June, HSPA will be in 275 US markets. But by the end of the year, AT&T plans for that number to grow to 350."

I counted 235 cities this morning, so they better move fast to get 40 more in the next 18 days! Regardless, it does look like their network is expanding.

Also, there's a lot of talk this morning about Apple's SDK agreement forbidding "real time route guidance," but closer inspection shows that this may only apply to over the air Google Maps or is the result of liability protection concerns. It could be that third-party applications with on board maps are fine, or perhaps Apple wants to be the sole provider of iPhone navigation services. Time will tell.

Finally, TWICE offers reasons for and against the iPhone being a personal navigation device killer.
