Google Should Make Apple Beg for Maps Navigation

Just a question...

So how do you navigate if there is no 3G reception?

At the moment, Google Maps will navigate you out to the middle of nowhere and then stop working... No?

Cool "feature".

Nokia Should Have Prevented Its Portal Problems

I'll just point out that Nokia is simply and by far, the biggest producer of phones in the world. They understand phones really well. Both RIM and Apple are minority players in comparison. It's pretty much only the USA market which they haven't owned. And that isn't because Americans are particularly sophisticated phone users, rather the opposite.

Their phones aren't the problem. They pretty much hit the markets they are aimed at. The N97 for example will be entering a pocket near me real soon. Their problem is Nokia is a phone company and doesn't (yet) know how to run an ISP.

Nokia Should Have Prevented Its Portal Problems

Nokia are several years behind apple etc in the apps market for their phones, so the rush is understandable, but big bang is just... What were they thinking?

Leave the thing beta for a year and let the user base grow, fix the usability and performance bugs in what is clearly a new and untested system...
