Navigon reveals more info of their iPhone car kit
Jonne Eilimö | September 7, 2009 08:15 UTC | 0 comments |
According to a German iPhone news site, Navigon has now officially released a car mount for the iPhone. The mount will come with a car charger, and be available in October. The price is expected to be a little bit under 40€.
What makes this mount so much cheaper as the TomTom mount is, that it will not have it’s own GPS-chip. The Navigon car navigation will only rely on the A-GPS chip of the iPhone. This will make the navigation a little bit less accurate, and slower.
If I was in need of a navigator, I would go with the TomTom mount :)

9to5mac has posted that the next update for the iPhone will see the light of day next week. This will most probably happen on the same day as when the iPod line will be updated at an event in the States. The “It’s only rock and roll, but we like it” -event will be held on October 9th (09.09.09).
This update will bring good news to the ones using iPhone on the AT&T network, since they will allow MMS messaging on their network with this update.

It's official, China Unicom will bring the iPhone to China
Jonne Eilimö | August 28, 2009 14:57 UTC | 0 comments |
China Unicom announced today, as expected, the deal with Apple. They made a 3-year contract on selling iPhones in China. The pricing of the phone is yet to be announced.
This is big news since China Unicom is the worlds largest operator. The rumors that circled the web a few weeks ago stated, that the deal was about 5 million iPhones. I guess we’ll see whether or not that many iPhones will be sold. They could sell way more than 5 million, or then again it could be a huge let-down just like Russia and India was.
The iPhone will be available in China in Q4.

China Unicom to announce iPhone deal on Friday
Jonne Eilimö | August 27, 2009 19:05 UTC | 0 comments |
Reuters is reporting that China Unicom will announce their China version of the iPhone. The earlier rumors suggest that China Unicom will order 5 million iPhones from Apple. If the number is correct is yet to be seen, but well know more on Friday :) This deal would be a huge thing because it would allow Apple to tap into the world largest mobile market, with nearly 700 million subscribers.
