Seems to be a day for GPS .
GPS maker Telenav is bringing a rather good-looking turn-by-turn navigation app to the Android loving G1 this month.

As an Alpha company, does Apple have to worry about T-Mobile’s new G1 competitor?
Nope. Here’s why…
There has been a lot of speculation about the new T-Mobile G1 “handheld computer” (or otherwise known as a “smart phone”) and whether it represents a real threat to Apple’s 3G iPhone. Despite some “test drives” that say it is a good technical runner-up, the answer clearly is, “No.” And that is based upon understanding the Alpha Factor and how it reflects the real buying...
