Jessica,
google maps has a web app that you can add to your home screen for directions, etc. That looks doable to me.

Even under the prior IOS, I found myself using the Google Map's web app. It was the only way I could bring up saved maps.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Does anyone have any recommendations for something I can use to time web pages loading? I'm looking for simple and free, unsurprisingly. I'd love to get away from clockwatching for comparing these two architectures' performances.

Could you use Chrome's development tools? The Network section should tell you the time it takes to load everything.

That would work for some. The front end isn't Chrome compatible, but the back end is.
Excellent...

The firebug extension should let you do the same sort of thing in Firefox. But I don't use it as much so I'm not sure where to look offhand.

Front end is IE8 only. I will leave that testing up to the guy with the fancy tools. Back end and your suggestion and three really boring iterations will do for the rest.
Thanks!

Ah, IE. Our target browser is... wait for it... Opera! Cool.

Get the fuck out of town. I have seriously never heard that before. I'm the only person I know in meatspace who uses it, and I've been told to my virtual face more than once that I will not get coded for, so suck it up (thanks, Gawker, love you lots...).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Moments after updating iOS on my iPhone and iPad, I read that many people upgrading are losing WiFi on their devices. No problems for me, though.
And I read the other day that Virgin Mobile accounts are pretty easy to hack. They use the phone number as the user ID and a 6-digit PIN for a password. Problem is, they allow unlimited, rapid guesses of the PIN, so anyone who knows a Virgin phone # can hack the account in about a day with a script.
So far, Virgin is refusing to do anything about it.
