Official Twitter App Launched For Android 2.1
Posted on April 30, 2010 | No Comments
After acquiring Tweetie, so they can launch an official Twitter app for iPhone, and after working with RIM to make an official Twitter app for BlackBerry, Twitter have now released an official app for Android.
Sadly, it is only compatible with Android 2.1 devices -- the unfortunate side-effect of Android's break-neck pace of development.
The app actually looks really good, both visually and feature-wise.

Starbucks now letting you pay for your coffee fix via iPhone in 1,000+ Target stores
Posted on March 30, 2010 | No Comments
Back in September of last year, Starbucks made it possible to pay for your daily caffeine hit with their Starbucks Card Mobile iPhone app. The entire concept is pretty simple: punch in your Starbucks Card info, verify some details, and BAM! The iPhone app becomes the gift card, presenting a secure QR code for the Barista to scan when it comes time to pay up.
Here's the catch: out of Starbucks' roughly 74 billion locations, only a few have started accepting the mobile payment system. As in very few. As in sixteen. Until today!

Mobile Boarding Passes Take Off With 1200% Usage Increase In 2009
Posted on March 3, 2010 | No CommentsAlright, lets pat the pockets and run through the mental checklist one last time before security: Passport? Check, front pocket. Headphones? Definitely in your backpack. Boarding pass? Uh oh. Where’d that boarding pass go? Oh, that’s right!

Shout for Android offers one-tap texting
Posted on February 18, 2010 | No CommentsShout could save your life. It's a voice-activated texting program for Android that listens to your message and recipient ("Text Joe 'It's herpes, it's not transmittable right now'") and shout repeats the message and, after you press the big "Yes" button, sends the text message. I could definitely imagine using this in a car or on a high-wire strung between two buildings over Cincinnati.

Exclusive: first Google Phone / Nexus One photos, Android 2.1 on-board
Posted on December 14, 2009 | No Commentsdigg_url = 'http://digg.com/gadgets/Engadget_Exclusive_first_Google_Phone_Nexus_One_photos'; Well here you have it folks, honest-to-goodness pics of the Google Phone... AKA, the Nexus One. As you can see by the photos, the design of the device is largely similar to those we've seen, but the graphic on back is slightly different, and that piece of tape is covering a QR code (how very Google of them). Just like we've heard before, the updated OS features new 3D elements to the app tray, as well as an extended amount of homescreens, though it looks like the lock screen / mute is the same as in Android 2.0.1. Additionally, there's now a new grid icon at the bottom of the homescreen, which when pressed brings up a webOS card-style preview of all homescreen pages -- which raises some interesting possibilities. Apparently there's been a new software update for the device pushed tonight, and sure enough the phone is identified as the Nexus One on the system info page. Quite clearly this device is running on T-Mobile, and is also using WiFi, so there's two other questions you've got answers to. The phone also appears to come loaded up with Google Navigation (a bit of a no-brainer) and the brand-spanking-new Google Goggles. Hardware wise, the Nexus does look incredibly thin and sleek, and while there's not a slew of buttons (those four up front are clearly touch sensitive), there is a dedicated volume rocker along the side. Oh, and note this... no HTC logo anywhere to be found. We'll update the post as / if we get more info, but for now, feast your eyes on the gallery below!
Update: One item of interest. In the packaging there's a quick start guide which points users to a "questions" page at google.com/phone/support. The page is a dead end right now, but it certainly gets an eyebrow raise from us. If there is a real Google Phone in the offing, that seems a likely landing page for support.
[Thanks, RD]
