The guys at KickingTires have put the TeleNav turn-by-turn GPS Navigator for Android and the G1 through its paces and have emerged feeling that the software is impressive, but overpriced.
T-Mobile will start rolling out the long awaited 1.5 ‘Cupcake’ update to all G1 users next week. The over-the air update should be available to everyone by the end of May.
AU: I wouldn’t be too surprised if the update doesn’t hit Optus Dream owners for a few weeks after the info we got last week…
If you’re an HTC Dream owner, you’re probably all excited to get your hands on the new cupcake update. But when are Optus going to release it? We contacted Optus to find out, and were told by an Optus spokesperson:
It usually takes me about 60-90 seconds to eat a cupcake; this guy took about 10 minutes with his. On view: the new camcorder function, soft keyboard, browser improvements and YouTube uploads.
Good news for HTC Dream users: T-Mobile Germany’s says that the Cupcake updates will be released next month. They have stated in their G1 promotional page, heralding the new features which sadly don’t include vanilla frosting.
A full-featured version of Android 1.5 “Cupcake”, which introduces video recording, an onscreen keyboard, new browser functions and plenty more, has been compiled for G1 users by a kindly XDA forums contributor.
Google’s redesigned mobile Gmail site for iPhone and Android is live and it seems better than the original in every way: It’s faster, more app-like, and has an improved user interface. We like.
If you rejoiced at Google’s re-rollout of the one-phone-number-for-life Grand Central service as Google Voice, you’ll be pretty happy about GV—an app that can place outdoing calls using your universal number.
When Google yanked tethering apps from the Android Market, anger broiled in customers and developers alike. Google’s response is simple, but has far-reaching implications: tethering apps are back, just not for T-Mobile USA customers.
Developers are reporting a mass delisting of Android tethering apps from the App Marketplace, after being informed that such apps breach the Developer Distribution Agreement. That’s your cue for righteous indignation, internet!
