5eWEEK Labs Tests the Newest iPhone Features – The Wiggles
By holding down an icon for a few seconds, the widgets started to shake, indicating that I could change things around. I could delete my custom bookmarks (top), but not the preinstalled applications. I could, however, move seldom-used applications to a secondary screen, as the iPhone now supports as many as nine pages of icons (bottom left). To move an icon, I just dragged a wiggling icon to where I wanted it.
6eWEEK Labs Tests the Newest iPhone Features – Google Maps
By pressing the button on the lower left of the Google Maps interface, the iPhone will estimate a user’s current location. The iPhone first attempts to calculate position via Wi-Fi using Skyhook’s Wi-Fi Provisioning System, then falls back to cell phone tower triangulation. A larger circle indicates cell tower tracking.
