Google Maps for iPhone


The miracle happened, the ordeal ended. Google has put the bone to work and released in the app store Google Maps for iOS.

I did not know why yesterday I could not do the update to any application. Now I have found out. Probably everyone has given the rush as to download google maps and overloaded app store.
Maps of the new Google Maps are vector graphics like those from Apple, and it is a very good upload speed and fluidity of the application.

Everything is for the better. Just as happened with the native youtube application (eliminated by Apple), so it happened to the maps. To become much better than it was ever under parents ' obladuirea. The interface is clean but her version on Android and looks much better.

We have almost all the features of the Android version: information about traffic, turn-by-turn navigation, walking directions, satellite view, street view, indoor photos.

Of course we have the most important according to the competition, namely the download offline maps on a radius of 10 km, which is very useful for example when you're in a big city and have seen targets, and the tariff for roaming data traffic you can bring to the screed.

Apple wants curved screens for mobile phones?



At least that is the conclusion if we think that as soon as the company has patented the patent for the technology that makes this type of screen.

Although Apple has not announced anything official and many of those who follow the company for years say that the patent will be just another paper from the company's offices, Samsung should be taken with great possessions. Koreans have already released with slightly curved screens, terminals, but rival owns the patent for this invention, so it is possible that soon to have a new series of lawsuits.

Some say that soon we will see several models of mice or other PC accessories from Apple, other analysts think that we will have the part within a year of the launch of an iPhone with the curved screen. What is clear though is that as the war between Apple and Samsung is far from finished and that we have waited for "peace".
