London has arguably one of the best public transport systems in the world, but it's easy to take it for granted. You get used to trains running regularly, making it even more annoying than it might otherwise be when they don't.
So often, Londoners metaphorically slap their foreheads and berate themselves for not checking before …
I didn't bash the iPhone, all i said is that something similar has been available for windows mobile for sometime.
However thanks to the dearth of articles on the reg (and other places) reviewing winmo software (the most recent one they did had the 3 letter name of the publishing company wrong) there is the general perception that there is very little decent software for windows mobile.
Of course the appstore makes it easy, both customers looking for software and lazy hack journos trying to find something to write about without waiting for a press release to be emailed to them.
And I highly doubt you've ever used tube so i'll take your "it's shit" comment with a large pinch of salt
i used to have an app on WinMo which identified which carriage to get into to have the shortest walk to the exit when you got off the train.
This seemed pretty useful: rather than finding you have to walk the length of the train to get out, you can walk to the right place while you're having to wait for a train. Add this function too!

Please do not feed the trolls. It only provokes them to post further, and reasoned argument is incompatible with their delicate metabolisms.
If you have any suitable food (pulped Daily Mail gruel is recommended), please give it to the Sarah Bee on duty.
Thank you for your consideration.

App takes ages to load.
Journey planner doesn't take into account closed stations or lines!
Underground map doesn't work as well as Google maps re zooming/pinching
One day I experienced the tube delays screen not updating at all, so it can't take the live feed
@The Reg
So since when is iPhone bashing disallowed and comments moderated so hard?
I can't post my comment!
Oust the crapple fanbois.
Reg sucks.
Exit mapping?
