At&t Navigator Iphone App Free?

Author: admin  //  Category: Iphone apps, News

So you have an Iphone and your with At&t and your wanting the At&t Navigator App for free… well yes you can get the app for free in itunes  but At&t of courses wants your hard earned money so the execs can get their big bonuses! Don’t fall for this monthly fee crap!! Their is now a free alternative!

Google Maps Navigation already offers it, as does Nokia’s Ovi Maps, and now MapQuest is getting into the free turn-by-turn, voice-guided GPS navigation game. MapQuest has announced  that its MapQuest 4 for iPhone app has been updated to give users voice-guided turn-by-turn navigation service for absolutely free! The app will track your iPhone via GPS and alert you when you approach an exit, turn, or other navigation directions. It’ll even reroute you at the push of a button when you miss an offramp.

Google provides free GPS nav service on Android OS-powered phones, which gives Android phones a strong appeal among tech-conscious types on a budget. Nokia also offers free sat-nav through its clunky Ovi Maps for those of you still using Symbian-based phones. Now, the iPhone can lay claim to having a free voice-guided GPS solution of its own.

MapQuest 4 also sports power savings controls. Since using GPS on the iPhone 3G and 3GS can severely tax the battery, the app allows for three levels of power management. With power-management off, the app will keep the handset display fully lit and powered on, preventing the display from locking and shutting down. With low power management enabled, the app will allow the display to dim to save battery power, but will prevent it from locking and turning off altogether. With full power management enabled, the display will dim and turn off like normal.

If you have an iPhone 3G or 3GS running iPhone OS 3.x, you can download MapQuest 4 for free from the iTunes AppStore. Seeing as how it’s free and offers services that you normally have to pay through the nose for, we’d say it’s totally worth the few clicks it’s going to take you to download the app.

Ditch the At&t Navigator and save money!

(sorry I hate At&t… they ruined my life…so here is just little payback!)

iPhone apps can snoop contacts

Author: admin  //  Category: Iphone apps

A survey of 300,000 applications for both the iPhone and Android devices found that 14 percent of free App Store software has the ability to access a user’s contacts on their iPhone.

This week at the Black Hat conference in Las Vegas, Nev., security research firm Lookout revealed that it analyzed more than 300,000 free applications available on both the iPhone App Store and Android Market.

As noted earlier, the mobile security firm revealed a wallpaper application for Google’s Android mobile operating system that allegedly captures a handset’s SIM card number, subscriber identification and voicemail password, and reportedly sends it to the website www.imnet.us, owned by someone in Shenzhen, China.

In addition, Lookout also discovered that 14 percent of the surveyed free applications available for Apple’s iPhone have the capability to access a user’s contact data. That’s more than on Android, where 8 percent of tested applications could view the contact list.

Additionally, 33 percent of free applications on the App Store have the ability to access a user’s location. The difference is, Apple’s iOS mobile operating system requires third-party software to inform users when the application is accessing their location. Such rules do not, however, exist for contacts. For comparison, 29 percent of free Android software has the ability to access a user’s location.

Finally, Lookout also found that 47 percent of free Android applications include third-party code, such as mobile ads and analytics tracking. That number is 23 percent on the iPhone. The survey found that 28 percent of software on the App Store is free, compared with 64 percent on the Android Market.
