Trails is my favourite practical application so far. Trails is a GPS tracker that creates a lot every few seconds with GPS co-ordinates. This can then be e-mailed to yourself in the GPX format.This is a great little app for me, as I like to geotag my images. I have a dedicated GPS tracker that I use for the purpose. But Trails means that I will be able to create a log at those times I don't have the

Or, you can simply stick to answering questions yourself. Replies to questions are anonymous, and it is this which I feel leads to An-Quests biggest problem. The amount of racist or sexist questions is staggering. There are also a great deal of

So the iPhone finally became available in Guernsey and I picked one up. I have to say so far I'm loving it. I had an iPod touch and of course that could run applications like the iPhones. But the apps that interested me were based around the GPS and camera - which the iPod Touch doesn't have. In the next couple of posts, I'm going to give a little overview of a couple of my favourite apps - starting
