There’s an unsubstantiated rumor floating around that the Nokia C7, Finland’s second Symbian^3 device to start shipping , the first being the N8, has NFC capabilities built in , but due to being rushed to market the software written to support said internal hardware wasn’t included. In the future however Nokia will issue a software upgrade that will make the C7 one of the first mass market devices with near field communication built in. Now if this is true, and it may just be a PR snafu, then I’ve got to wonder what the hell Nokia was thinking. Symbian^3 was supposed to have NFC built in right from the start, but typical Nokia processes and bureaucracy meant schedules slipped and the awesome long awaited feature was pushed back to Symbian^4. Earlier this year Anssi Vanjoki himself, the guy who practically invented what Nokia is today and decided to leave the company after he wasn’t made CEO, was quoted as saying that all smartphones coming out of Nokia in 2011 will have NFC .

On the heels of our recent post on the Nike+ GPS app update , we talk about another iPhone application that does the similar thing… The outdoor social network for sports and fitness enthusiasts Map My Tracks wants its slice of the iPie, too. Their app is called OutFront and it provides “F1-style performance telemetry” for sailors, cyclists, runners and other outdoor sports. Users can track their activities, review performance and share the results live on the web — you can measure speed, pace, calories burned, elevation gain or loss and much more. Plus, there’s one unique thing about OutFront and that’s the ability to sing along Map My Tracks event management system that lets event organizers broadcast mass participation events online in real-time

iSlice Golf is a brand new iPhone app for golf fans, allowing them to fix one fault in their game – the slice swing. Using the smartphone’s built-in accelerometer, the application helps users practice their golf swing and receive feedback on swing plane and clubface angles at six critical positions and finally learn what it feels like to hit powerful golf shots just like the Pros do. Speaking of Pros, along the way you’ll be video-guided by PGA Golf Professional Duncan Kegg who will show key positions and incorrect moves that cause the bad slice swing. Moreover, there are instructions that golfers can practice anywhere using nothing but their iPhone

There is apparently an iPhone jailbreak hack called Gridlock which enables the user to place application icons on their home screen and actually doesn’t interfere with their wallpaper and even enables the user to make a pattern. According to an article over on TiPb by Brian, Gridlock for the iPhone is simple to use as all that is required is for the user to hold down on an icon which will make said the application jiggle as normal and then you can move said icon to anywhere you wish. Apparently that is all there is to it with Gridlock for iPhone , and you can’t get any simpler than that can you, just press down and drag your chosen icon anywhere and the job is done. So if you have a jailbroken iPhone and can use Cydia , you can purchase Gridlock for iPhone from Cydia for a very reasonable $0.99, and if you do then drop us a comment on what you think of Gridlock for iPhone.
