Reading Time: 3 minAs many of you already know, I recently switched from my Apple iPhone 3GS to the Nexus One (running Google’s “Android” operating system). The reviews I’d read essentially say that if your life is in Google (Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Voice, etc), it’s a smart move to make. I agree. However, it’s certainly not better […]

Gtdagenda launches their Android app
Reading Time: < 1 minI’m becoming more and more confident that my next phone will be an Android device. The ties to Google are excellent for me, and the apps are finally reaching the point of being pretty good. The Apple app store still rules, but Android is catching up quickly.

Bing releases iPhone app with nice Maps implementation
Reading Time: 2 minMicrosoft just released the “Bing” application for iPhone and it is a solid effort. It was voice search that is similar to the Google app, and Maps implementation that is similar to Google Maps on the phone. It’s a free app, so it’s certainly worth downloading and trying out.

Spotify released for iPhone, but US users still left out
Reading Time: < 1 minThe excellent Spotify app has just been released for the iPhone and the Android Market, but users in the United States still can’t use it. The problem is that the app is only for premium users of the service, and users in the US still can’t access it. Spotify is essentially just a streaming music […]

New sync tool for Google Calendar and your phone
Reading Time: < 1 minGoogle has just released a new tool to sync your Google Calendar to your iPhone or Windows Mobile device, and it’s pretty slick! For my iPhone, I had previously been using the excellent (but not free) “SaiSuke” app to handle calendaring. The problem was that you had to manually sync it, and it took a […]
StreetView comes to the iPhone
Reading Time: < 1 minAs we mentioned a few weeks ago, the new firmware update today for the iPhone (version 2.2) includes Google StreetView. I’m still loading the update on my phone, but I’m expecting good things. As with Google Earth for the iPhone, I would think that the multi-touch input will work very well with StreetView. We’ll see. […]
Google Earth has arrived on the iPhone
Reading Time: < 1 minSomewhat out of the blue, though not totally unexpected after we saw EarthScape, Google Earth has been released for the iPhone! It’s still being rolled out (Australia and Japan can get it now), and it’s not available for my area yet. I’ll post more details once I get it. A little more info can be […]
MapQuest 4 Mobile now available for Blackberry

It looks very much like all of MapQuest’s other recent launches — very nice, but nothing new.
