It's useful for dictating text messages etc., especially in a hands-free setting. It's pretty good for answering questions too, or setting up reminders etc.

I don't use it a lot - but it can be quite handy.

I think we're not getting the location stuff here for another few months yet.

I now have a 4S running 5.0.1 with an untethered Jailbreak, thanks to the Dev Team & Chronic Dev "Dream Team" and Absinthe :)

SBSettings for iOS5 is great. Also installed my other main JB apps: BrowserChanger so I can use iCab Mobile as the default browser instead of Safari, and Intelliscreen... this time IntelliscreenX (ISX). ISX rocks. The iOS5 Notification Centre is far better than notifications on iOS4 and below... and ISX is far better than iOS5's. I now have Mail, Twitter, Facebook, and RSS feeds in my Notification Centre, plus can access the lot from the Lock Screen. Awesome.

Don't think I'll bother with my iPad, though. I don't use Notifications on the iPad, and don't need the SBSettings toggles. Not worth doing for BrowserChanger alone. The only other thing I ever Jailbroke the iPhone for before was tethering... which is irrelevant for the iPad (& not needed on the iPhone now with the new O2 tariffs).

... and I've now actually uninstalled SBSettings, having found that IntelliScreenX has its own toggles. Nice.

So....it looks like I'm finally going to turn to the dark side. My upgrade is due soon and I've been playing with her-indoors' 4S to the point where I'm seriously considering it, especially after the deal I've been offered.

Anyway I've been using Android for the past 4 years and although I have a lot of respect for it, I'm getting a bit annoyed with the occasional freezing and other little annoyances. So I need to know that what Apple can provide me will match what I've had on Android.

Firstly, are there any free satnavs available for it? On terms with the turn-by-turn navigation you get with Google Maps?

Is ok but I still prefer the cheap(ish) co pilot.
