Meaning, you leave the iPhone at home. That hasn't stopped a Burning Man iPhone (and iPad!) app from hitting the store in time for next week's festival.

Google today updated its Google Maps iOS app to include a ride-sharing tab it introduced for Android owners just last week. The new tab, which shows up under a taxi icon between walking and biking options, shows both the available ride-sharing options and price quotes.
