Geocaching App
Finally, the official Geocaching.com iPhone app is available on the iPhone App Store. It costs a grand total of £5.99 in the UK ($9.99 in the US). The app promises to be the first to link directly into the Geocaching.com website and bring you real-time cache details based on your current GPS coordinates (unlike the previous 3rd-party apps which relied on offline databases). Added to this the ability to look up trackables, this is building into a potentially great app for Cachers all over the world well… where the iPhone is available anyway!). You can save chosen caches to a ‘saved’ area to view offline.
Soon to be added will be the ability to log finds from the app and more detailed linking of multi-caches. I’m yet to try it, but as soon as I get to try it out ‘in the wild’ so to speak, I’ll let you know how it goes. If they added to this the ability to download multiple caches, or pocket queries, then this would be a killer paperless Caching app.
Cheers!

The Apple rumor mill is once again running overtime on the topic of netbooks. If you believe the reports, Steve Jobs is himself leading the charge. My take: Whatever Apple does, it won?t be a netbook in the usual sense, I also bet that Apple, if it does anything, will itself avoid using the n-word to describe it.
