The 13 guides will be free until Thursday, 22 April from the iTunes app store. You can access them via the links below: ...

I've just bagged all of them, along with a couple of other ones which are currently free but not on that list (I just searched iTunes for "Lonely Planet" & downloaded all the stuff that said "Free").

Me too! And the fact I'm off to Barcelona on Wednesday is pure coincidence

I'll definitely use the Amsterdam one as I tend to go twice a year, funds permitting.

Re: The iPhone thread

Not strictly speaking iphone news this, but it seems that Steve Jobs's "And Another thing" section at the World Wide Developers conference on the 7th June might actually be......

Steve Balmer!

Yep, it's rumoured that the Microsoft CEO might just be there to announce that Visual Studio 2010 will compile native OSX and iPhone apps..

I think he'll be there to announce that Bing Search and Bing Maps will be the default on iPhone, a shot back at Google from Apple. Makes sense. Microsoft will be keen to push Search and Apple want to knock back Google a bit since Android is really having a good go at iPhone now (Especially considering the Android 2.2 keynote where they were they stopped just short of calling Apple evil).

I don't see the Visual Studio thing...Makes sense to have a Windows Development Environment for iPhone but OSX applications? Really? Seems a bit far fetched too me (I however love Visual Studio and .Net so would welcome it).
