The OC Fair app puts some important fair information right in your hands.

The app was tested on the new iPhone 4 and it crashed a couple times in a span of around five minutes, but it does make available some important information.

The main screen of the app gives you some useful at-a-glance information: There’s a more detailed calendar that lets you look up shows at the fair: With how hot it has been, it’s nice to see they thought to include the weather in the app: The Twitter and Facebook pages for the OC Fair are included as well. Use #OCFair on Twitter to see what people are talking about at the fair live in real time. A map is also included in the app. It is supposed to also let you mark where you parked your car so you can get back to it, but that functionality hasn’t been tested yet. Mention @hmltn on Twitter and let me know if you have any fair tips for those with a smart phone or if you’ve tried out the app. Let us know how it works for you actually navigating the fair.

Mashable just linked the first real trailer for “The Social Network.” There’s a great poster for the movie as well. Anyone interested in seeing this now?

Add this as the 11th question Apple needs to answer tomorrow.

Bloomberg reporting:

Apple Inc.’s senior antenna expert voiced concern to Chief Executive Officer Steve Jobs in the early design phase of the iPhone 4 that the antenna design could lead to dropped calls, a person familiar with the matter said.

Last year, Ruben Caballero, a senior engineer and antenna expert, informed Apple’s management the device’s design may hurt reception.

Is this report true? What happened?

If you wanted an Android phone with the size and capabilities of the Evo 4G but on Verizon’s network, Droid X has arrived.

Anybody getting one? Have one? How is it?

Hopefully we’ll get answers to these questions.

The modules will be used on military platforms including missile guidance, secure radio communications and precision guided munitions designed with global positioning (GPS) capability. Weapon systems with GPS have the ability to strike fixed targets in all weather, day or night, while reducing the number of rounds expended and minimizing collateral damage. The anti-tamper features on these defense platforms prevent reverse engineering and other covert methods that could be used to gain access to sensitive data.
