No Comments Android, Apps, Google

 

Google has released a series of updates for their Google Maps Android application. These updates will place page reviews and the ability to filter search results. But, an interesting and out of the box app is real-time location update in Google Latitude.

What does this app do? It’s a part of Google Maps 4.6 for Android 1.6 and above. It enables your friends and family on the service to see where you are in real-time. Previously, location updates through Latitude would occur regularly, but not in real-time because constant sending of data would wear down the battery. However, this new real-time feature applicable for short-term usage consumes less battery life and keeps your loved ones updated all the time.

Sounds awesome? Download the app from the market and check it out.

Samsung Unveils Nexus 2 on November 8th- Reality or Hoax?

No Comments Android, News

 

The latest rumours doing the mill – Google working on Nexus Two. We got the latest buzz from an anonymous tipster who informed us that Samsung will unveil Nexus 2 with Android Gingerbread on November 8. If this anecdote stands true, we will get a better smartphone than both Nexus One and Samsung Galaxy S.

Google is accelerating the developments related to Gingerbread, and Samsung is holding an event to launch a “next Android device” it is likeable that Google Gingerbread might be announced on the same day.

A separate report by City A.M., tell us that Google is working with UK based Carphone Warehouse to introduce Nexus Two by Holiday season. However, HTC’s name as the device partner was hardly mentioned.

Google and Samsung must’ve weighed their humungous success with Samsung Galaxy S and therefore the new android phone is loaded with 1GHz Hummingbird CPU along with powerful PowerVR SGX 540 GPU to provide a good support to the Android OS. Additionally, a Super AMOLED touchscreen in the offing to steal your attention. 

Google is certainly going big with Android as we’ve heard the recent developments of PlayStation Phone.

Now we’ll have to wait until November 8 for the curtains to pull down and see if Samsung actually announces the Nexus Two with Android Gingerbread.
