  • Video: a fresh look at Windows Phone 7

    Video: a fresh look at Windows Phone 7

    Posted on June 23, 2010 | No Comments
    Microsoft held a little gathering in New York City last night, where they showed off the progress being made in Windows Phone 7. The big upshot of this is that Into Mobile were there to capture a video of some demo-time with the new OS. It's the first video I've seen of the OS running on real (albeit pre-production) hardware, and it gives you a good idea of the feel that Microsoft were going for with their new UI. I've been a fan of the UI since I first saw it, and I really like the fluid feel and the gorgeous transitions (which are, to me, the highlight of the video).

  • Google Maps for Android adds transit departure times, Latitude friend suggestions

    Google Maps for Android adds transit departure times, Latitude friend suggestions

    Posted on June 22, 2010 | No Comments
    One of Google's favorite pastimes is shoehorning bits of new functionality into Google Maps for Android, probably because... well, because it can -- updating a package on its own mobile platform is a heck of a lot easier than, say, getting Apple to add a feature to its Maps app. To that end, version 4.3 has just rolled out with three major additions: aggregated (and color-coded) business reviews broken down by topic, transit system departure times, and suggested friends for Latitude. We'll admit, we occasionally forget that Latitude exists, so this seems like a timely addition to get it back into the spotlight -- and if you live in New York, Chicago, or another city with a sprawling bus and subway system, we're sure you'll be amped about the schedules. Now if those times were actually correct, that'd be really mind-blowing.

  • AppMakr now supports GeoRSS tagging

    AppMakr now supports GeoRSS tagging

    Posted on June 21, 2010 | No Comments
    AppMakr is a service that allows you to make simple, Internet-fed apps for the iPhone, Touch, or iPad. Historically, AppMakr has been called a glorified RSS reader but, with the addition of push notifications, a native image viewer, and GeoRSS support, they're trying to shake that image. GeoRSS is the latest addition to the product and allows content providers to stick a little XML code into their feed to mark posts with GPS coordinates. You can then use the iOS's native map-handling to view these posts on Google Maps or within the app itself.

    Google Maps Navigation comes to Canada and mainland Europe, remains free as a bird

    Posted on June 9, 2010 | No Comments
    digg_url = 'http://digg.com/gadgets/Google_Maps_Navigation_comes_to_Canada_and_mainland_Europe'; Patience has had to be your foremost virtue if you were eager to use Google Maps Navigation outside the US or UK, but you might be in luck today as a sizable new batch of countries is getting the free turn-by-turn nav service activated. Googleites in Canada and most of mainland Europe will now be able to hear their Android (version 1.6 and above) giving them voice directions, and as an extra bonus, some nations are also seeing voice search activated, with Canada and German-speaking countries among them. Google's clearly not sitting on its laurels here, so why not power up your phone and let us know how well it finds its way around De Wallen?

    List of confirmed new countries so far: Canada, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Netherlands, Denmark, Austria, Switzerland, and Belgium.

    [Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

  • LinkPush: Chrome-to-Phone for the rest of us (those not on Android 2.2)

    LinkPush: Chrome-to-Phone for the rest of us (those not on Android 2.2)

    Posted on June 9, 2010 | No Comments
    One of the neat-o features introduced in Android 2.2 (or Froyo) is "Chrome-to-Phone", which gives the ability to take what you're viewing in the Google Chrome browser (on your PC/Mac), and push it straight to your Froyo phone. I've not yet seen this in person, though, because I'm stuck on a pre-Froyo build of Android. Which sucks. But today, that changes: I found someone that -- like me -- was longing for some Chrome-to-Phone action on their Android 2.1 phone. Unlike me, however, they did something about it. And so I introduce to you LinkPush: the Chrome-to-Phone alternative for the rest of us.

    You can now send Google Maps directions to your Ford Sync-equipped vehicle

    Posted on June 8, 2010 | No Comments
    Oh, a car story written by Nicholas. This is sure to be riddled with errors! (Kidding&mdas;or am I?) Ford Sync, which Matt has talked about for some time, now works with Google Maps. That is, from Google Maps on your computer or mobile or whatever, you select a destination then send it straight to your car. That way, when you hop in the saddle—cars have saddles, right?—your destination is all marked out for you. Pretty neat.
