TV.com has released a application on the App Store and if you’re in the US you can stream full TV shows and clips of TV shows right on your iPhone or iPod Touch! TV Shows available for full episode streaming include: CSI: Miama, NCIS, Star Trek: The Original Series and more. The video quality isn’t great, it’s sort of YouTube video quality… yeah, crappy quality but it’s very much watchable. You can stream this video via Wi-Fi (obviously), 3G, or even EDGE which is awesome if you like waiting a couple of hours to load 5 seconds of video.

I wish they had some of the more popular and cooler shows avialble for full episode streaming, such as The Office (It’s not even on the list and it’s understandable since this app is from CBS), My Name is Earl (again, not even on the list), Ghost Whisperer, The Big Band Theory, Weeds and etc. but they sadly don’t.

If you want to give this app a go it’s Free and available on the App Store – here

Let us know what you like about this app and what you don’t!

Free iPhone for Everybody! yay! —Softbank, the official iPhone carrier in Japan, is offering new members a free 8GB iPhone 3G or a 16GB for ¥11,520 (approx. $120) when they agree to sign up for a two year contract for basic, premium, or student plans as part of their “iPhone for Everybody Campaign”. However, like always, nothing is free. Instead of paying up front, users have to pay an additional ¥480 (approx. $5USD) on each monthly payment as part of the plan. gah! Well, it’s better than paying $200USD plus taxes all up front, right?

They have also dropped the price of the most expensive plan from ¥5985 (approx. $62USD) to ¥4410 (approx. $45USD) to make it more attractive. The promotion will last until the end of May of this year. Not bad, eh?

iBluetooth is a neat application that will allow the end-user to transfer files to and from their computers to an iPhone – Hell yeah! you heard right! Bluetooth transfer on iPhone! MeDevil, the creator of iBlueTooth has come final bug squashing to do and this app will be released.

Apple currently does not allow an app such as iBluetooth to do this (Stupid Apple) so don’t expect this app to be made available on the AppStore, this application will be most likely released on Cydia.

Stay tuned! We’ll let you know when this hits Cydia!

This is a very good idea. Instead of organizing your applications directly on your iPhone or iPod Touch, why not do it on your PC or Mac via iTunes with the comfort of using a mouse. I believe using a mouse to do app organizing would be much more easier than using your finger on the iPhone or iPod Touch especially when you have tons of pages along with tons of icons/apps

Despite all the anticipation for turn by turn GPS navigation on the iPhone, an application that does just that already exists on the AppStore. XRoad Co.’s G-Map U.S. West and G-Map U.S. East apps were released back in October and January. The application seemed to slip under Apple’s strict radar and got published on the AppStore.

The G-Map application is the first on-board GPS navigation solution to be made available for iPhone and iPod Touch download. This cutting-edge GPS-enabled application features an intuitive user interface with functions essential to the mobile consumer. Unlike other network mobile navigation services, there is no monthly fee involved and it makes instant route guidance without interruption. No internet or wi-fi connection needed to get you to the desired destination.

I instantly got intrigued by the application and put it to the test. I tested it on my iPhone 3G and drove around town for awhile and it works almost flawlessly. The application provides turn-by-turn directions (distance countdown to each turn) by way of GPS. Local points of interest (Food, Fuel, etc.) can be found, addresses can be searched, routes can be edited, detours added, and types of roads can be avoided (highways, toll roads, etc.). If a turn is missed, the route is recalculated. The application is said to even provide 3D images of major intersection, I am unable to confirm it actually does. Despite everything the application does flawlessly, voice prompts are no where to be found to let you know what street to turn to without having to look at the iPhone screen.

Weighing at a hefty 800-900MB, you need some serious free space to be able to install this application, all the maps are built-in onto the application so if you drive into a town where you have absolutely no Wi-Fi, EDGE or 3G then you can still get your maps without driving around without directions.

Each region costs $19.99 USD (East US – iTunes link or West US – iTunes link) – A Europe version is coming soon

G-Map is available on the AppStore:
