There's an app for that....

2009 and 2010 have seen this phrase used a lot, and I am quite sure this will continue.  The phenomenon which is the iPhone never ceases to impress me.  I have had my trusty iPhone 3 for 18 months, and it has been one of the most useful bits of technology at my disposal.

This morning for example, I was just about to set off on a journey from Horsham to Croydon.  I had to be there by 9am, and I fired up the iPhone Maps app just to check the state of the motorways.  One of the settings of the Maps application allows you to see if there is any traffic on the main roads.

As the screen appeared, it was obvious that my usual route was completely jammed with slow traffic which would have made me very late for my appointment.  As it happens, I used an alternative route and got there early at 8:30am.

That is a really useful app :)
