thanks just actually purchased a backup battery. It wasn't the richard solo. I left the box in my car but it works well. anything else . my radio tuner kinda sucks. It catches a lot of interference when it is connected to my iphone.
any recommended apps. so far i have urbanspoon, weatherchannel, and pandora. any good apps to tell you nearest gas station and gas prices in that state. ?

car charger?? Bluetooth headset so your not talking and driving at the same time, well you'll be talking but wirelessly you know. uh pandora? dont have to worry about changing stations from city to city, its got all your music you could need.
Look into the GasHound app, it will help you to find the lowest gas prices and directions to the station.
Then you better buy a few !
I always bring car, home , usb, and portable chargers. I normally have my macbook pro with me also and normally have all the charges/cords.
Car charger, wall charger and power outlets within reach the entire time if you've upgraded to 2.2.
lol. The new 2.2 upgrade has worked well for me. The battery seems to last longer and the iphone runs smoother. The only thing that was weird was my visual voicemail had a lock on it out the blue. I had to unlock and i never set it to be locked...

wow. you are definately a mac head i just noticed your sig... how is that mac pro treating you.
Last week, we drove from PA to Denver and back. All I took were;
- Car charger
- Wall charger
I had a BT headset but never used it.
I also added the major cities along the way to the Weather app.

Or if, you know, he's using ANY iPhone.
As for apps, I'd just suggest using Google maps a lot. Drop pins and save them as bookmarks when you go places. Use the new "walking" feature a lot. With those 2 things you can keep very good track of where you've been in case you decide to backtrack and return someplace later in the day.
Urbanspoon, like you said, is pretty helpfull. I sometimes find that "YPmobile" gives me more useful results than google does. It's worth checking it in addition to google, at least.
Also, remember: If you find yourself in an area without 3G, just turn it off or the chip will waste power looking for a 3G signal all day.
Definitely drop pins for the best gas prices. A nice car charger for plugging in your BT, iPhone wallchargers and a laptop/MacBook. Also, drop pins for the local Apple Stores...
