Not really talking about the movie (which I thought was so unfunny it turned funny in the end). I am talking about the coolest iPhone application for those of us who do not really have a sense of direction. I personally can’t find my car 95% of the time but now thanks to this cool iPhone application (G-Park), you can park you car, set the application, and then use it to get turn by turn direction to your car. I know. It sounds like a simple task to do but even Garmin touts their newest feature, “Where Am I” which is pretty much the same as what G-Park does. The difference? Garmin costs close to $500 and G-Park costs $0.99!

Just found a neat little iPhone App that is going for free on iTunes store. Basically, this App (which is very nice looking) allows you to find gas, restaurants, and shopping centers around you (similar to what GPS devices do these days).

As you can see above, that’s not all it does. The one cool thing about this is that as you move the results refresh automatically, which means if you are in a car and moving, you can constantly get the latest information from this App. The App does need a little work as it fails to pick up some of these places but did I say it’s free and it works well most of the time?

It’s true. There is no science or data behind it yet (unless you are willing to help out), but there is no question that iPhone 1.0 did reduce employees productivity in the first couple of months. Let’s say you are in your cubicle, and all alone. It’s not exactly a fast day and the shiny iPhone is sitting on your desk. You’ve just gotten it and even though have played with it for a couple of days, you still want to explore it even more. Let’s face it. You love your iPhone.

Now the dumbest thing to do at this moment is to answer that new e-mail that you just got about work. What you should do is pick up that iPhone and play with it for a couple of hours. Everybody does that at work. Employers know it, so it’s not wrong! Play with it till lunch and then you’ll have plenty of time to do some work after.

Now this may sound wrong to you, but I personally have been in some boring positions where you basically sit and do nothing for a day or two or maybe week before there is more work. But thanks to iPhone 3G and the new App store, you can pretty much burn days and months on different Apps and love doing it. By the way, who says wasting time is not fun. Go to App store and find out for youself.
