Google just keeps improving its Maps application for Android, as the 4.3 version now includes train schedules, deeper Latitude integration and quicker ways to search. A cool new addition is the ability to quickly check out the upcoming schedules for public transit stations. This is probably more useful in certain cities (like mine) than others,…
No iPhone 4 pre-order? AT&T won’t have one for you until June 29
If you didn’t secure your iPhone 4 preorder last week, don’t expect to just go waltzing into an AT&T store on Thursday, June 24th (aka iPhone 4 launch day) and pick up one of Apple’s shiny, glassy-and-steel smartphones. AT&T reached out to us today to let us know that they won’t have any iPhone 4…
Bing for iPhone Updated with Social Networking and Image Recognition
The Bing search application for iPhone just got a pretty hefty update, now allowing you to connect to Twitter and Facebook (so you can search updates as well as share results), and a new visual scanning feature using the camera, not unlike Google Goggles.

BlackBerry’s GPS Position to be Shared with Developers by Default?
At one of the BlackBerry App World 2.0 launch events, TWiT’s Becky Worley learned that RIM will be leveraging their acquisition of Dash Navigation by crowdsourcing GPS information from BlackBerry users to build a traffic database.

AT&T Mark the Spot App Gives Android Users a Chance to Complain, Too
It’s not like iPhone users are the only folks on the AT&T network, so the carrier’s voice and data issues aren’t limited to just those smartphone users. Android is all up in that business now with the Backflip and HTC Aria on AT&T’s network, so it’s only fair that those customers get to bitch about…
Google Voice now open to all [Update: U.S. only]
Google had previously loosened the reigns on Google Voice for students but now the search giant is making its calling service free to everyone, no invite needed. If you’ve never used Google Voice before, it’s essentially a call-forwarding service that enables all your phones to be routed to a specific number. This means your cell…
International Snooker HD for iPad
Into cue sports? Fancy a game of Snooker every now and then? I know I do. Since my early days out on my grandparents’ farm, I’ve always had a cue in my hand (they had an amazing 5×10 from the early 1900’s in their basement). These days I’m fortunate to have a full 6×12 at…
