I've just received my phone bill for an October trip to the UK. £30 in data roaming charges, used mostly on accessing maps when I got a little lost in London. What the fuck is Apple thinking?? the iphone is practically crippled without a fast 3G connection and when you are roaming abroad that comes at a per MB charge which is extortionate. If Apple allowed you to cache maps to memory, that would solve everything.
Anyway I bought the Iphone 3G on the back of rumours that TomTom had a pre-release version ready, and 4 months later still nothing. TomTom blame Apple's stranglehold SDK which is preventing all competition to its SHIT maps application. I'm ready to flog my 3G and get an HTC Touch HD, which does run TOMTOM and most other good GPS apps.
Apple, STOP crippling an otherwise excellent product. There are programmers out there talented enough to take advantage of the amazing hardware... let them do their best!!!!!
