iphone GPS:I have noticed that when using the GPS on my 3gs the back of the phone gets extremely hot and this is when using it for not more than 20 minutes!I am sure it happens with all the iphones but in my opinion its a bit of a worry!
HD Channels:I noticed that the 5 day test(SA VS UK) was on SportHD,I heard that was for testing the channel but it was great! I have not been so glued to a 5 day cricket game in ages.I am glad DSTV kept to their promise which was that they would have 2 extra HD channels by the end of the year.
I bought and downloaded the kilofuel app. It looks really impressive but from what I can see there is no way to get the data on your phone to your PC.There should be a way to email the data to your PC or something like that,other than that I am sure its going to be a great app
