A step in the right direction

Over 2000 years in the making, the new iPhone 3GS has been released with its pièce de résistance… The compass!



Ok, so iPhone may not have been the first to invent or even digitise the compass, but with the rate of knots it’s releasing applications it really is the one to watch.
So why all the fuss? Although the new bit of kit may be older than the pyramids, in collaboration with the already existing GPS it means the iPhone now has 100% spatial awareness. Not only can it correctly orientate your maps, but just marvel at what else it can do:
Air Coaster
IBM: Wimbledon
Layar: Augmented browser
Nearest Tube
