London: The London Pass

London: The London Pass If you think you will be visiting a lot of London attractions, consider getting a London Pass – this is a one-fee pass that includes entry into many of London’s major attractions and tours, with over sixty to choose. It even includes a one-day hop-on, hop-off bus ticket on Golden Tours.

A large selection of attractions are currently included in the London Pass. Here are just a few of the most popular: Tower of London, Thames River Cruise, Windsor Castle, Westminster Abbey and London Zoo.

Note that none of the Merlin Entertainment attractions are included in the London Pass (the London Eye, London Dungeon, London Aquarium, Shrek’s Adventure and Madame Tussauds), and neither is The Shard.

Some attractions (such as Tower Bridge Exhibition) will grant you express entry with the London Pass.

How much does the London Pass cost?
Adult prices are £62 for one day, £85 for 2 days, £101 for 3 days, £139 for 6 days and £169 for 10 days. Child prices are about £20 cheaper. …

This is Apple's in-house equivalent to Microsoft Office with apps that, frankly, still aren't up to scratch when compared to Office.
Pages 2010- Increased compatibility, maybe to work with Office 2010.
Keynote 2010 - More templates are likely to be added and maybe new transitions
Numbers 2010 - Sample templates are also likely to be added here and more chart types.

What is really needed is a Publisher replacement on a MaC. This could be done really well by Apple and could actually be a better product than Publisher itself. In 2008 Numbers was added to iWork, so a new program may be added to the suite later - and 2010 would be a g…

Navigon for iPhone and iPod Touch Review

Navigon MobileNavigator for iPhone
Navigon is a reputable name in the satellite navigation industry and has always produced some of the most reliable systems; they have now decided to port their navigation software to the iPhone and iPod Touch. 









First experience and Features:
To make this a fair review and to test user experience I decided that I wouldn't even open up the application until I was in the car. Clicking the navigon button on the home screen launches the app and in a very impressive 7 seconds you are at the main menu screen.
The main menu screen is very simple (which is a good thing in a navigation app) and displays 4 main options - enter an address, search for POI, take me home and show map. As with the whole of the app - this can be viewed in vertical and horizontal mode.

Enter an address - After pressing this button you are shown a screen which allows you to click a flag in the top right corner (for versions of the app with multiple countries so that you can select th…
