The iPhone 4 (just annouced on WWDC 10) might still be months away from Malaysian shores but that doesn’t mean you can’t try out the brand spanking new OS that comes with it (albeit with some limitations depending on which iPhone you’re using)

Yes, the iOS4 is now available for download complete with multitasking and folders. But before you begin downloading the new OS, you have to have the latest iTunes (ver9.2) installed as well.

While you’re waiting for the downloads to be completed here’s a here’s a 10 minute video guide on the iOS4 to get you familiarized with the new features and what not.

The video demo is running on an iPhone 3GS which gets to use almost all of the new features iOS4. But if you’re running the iPhone do note that you will not be getting multitasking and a few other things. So we’d advice those running on iPhone 3G not to upgrade for risk of making your phone slower.

Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

The new Garmin software version 3.00 (2010-05) is now available for Sing/Mal version of Garmin Nuvi 205/205w/255w.

This version will enable multi-language voice resources support to the unit. After successful update, run WebUpdater and you will find more language options available to install into your GPS navigator.

Here are the steps I have taken to successfully updated my Nuvi 255w.
Download the installation file from Garmin’s website (link provided at the end of this article). The filename is nuvi255W_SG_v300.exe with the size of 10,976kb.

Remove the SD card (that I use to store additional maps) from the GPS slot.

Connect the GPS to my computer with USB cable and access to its storage.

Rename the file /Garmin/GPX/Current.gpx to /Garmin/GPX/temp.gpx. During the update process, a new Current.gpx file will be created and data in this temp.gpx will be restored to the new Current.gpx. If this step is not taken, you might lost your saved waypoints and/or favourites.

Delete these 3 files from /Garmin/Voice folder:
English_American_Jack.vpm
English_Australian_Karen.vpm
English_British_Daniel.vpm
Don’t worry, they’ll be replaced with new version of voice files during the update process.

Run the nuvi255W_SG_v300.exe from the computer. It will copy over some files to the GPS.

Safely unplug the USB cable and let the GPS reboot by itself. You will see the message of “Software loading…” on the screen of the GPS while it is performing the update.

In less than half a minute, the GPS will automatically reboot itself after the update is completed.

Now the GPS is loaded with new software v3.00 (successfully updated from the previous v2.80).

Meanwhile, software version 2.50 (2010-05) is also available for Sing/Mal version of Garmin Nuvi 1350/1460 now.

Camera Pro is a very good, very capable replacement for the default Camera app. Camera Pro is an app that replaces the built-in camera app that adds an incredible number of really useful features. The first is zoom. Camera Pro offers a sliding zoom level. The app uses digital zoom. With digital zoom, the camera doesn’t physically zoom. It crops the image to include only the image area included on the LCD. When zooming in, the camera actually crops a lower resolution image from the overall image that is seen by the camera. This process is seamless to the user, so appears to be a zoom function. In spite of its potential resolution problems, this zoom feature is outstanding, fast, and a very welcome addition to the G1.

Features:
•Digital Zoom (up to 4x)
•Easy photography: just tap the screen to snap a photo
•Effect filters(b/w, sepia, aqua,…)
•Whitebalance
•Grid lines
•Silent shutter
•Autofocus
•Contrast / brightness
•Timer
•Saves GPS location in the photo
•Send photo directly via email/MMS
•All features configurable via preferences
