And this is when you realize, this is going to change everything." The credits close highlighting the AT&T 3G Network ("the fastest 3G network") and fade off with the familiar Apple logo."Lonely Planet" features the popular travel guide and its instant translation database, while "Cro Mag" features Pangea's Cro-Mag game that leverages the built-in accelerometer for its popular racing game and "Vicinity" touts easy download of an application for locating nearby attractions, restaurants, etc. using the built-in location functions. |
