Foursquare Update Coming Tonight for iOS and Android
According to the Foursquare blog, new versions of Foursquare should be coming live soon. Both will hit version 3.0 and bring with them a new opportunity to “Explore”, with an Explore tab. Basically you’re getting recommendations based on what’s around and what your friends have visited. Smart in our opinion.
According to Crowly: “You’ll see that we’ve replaced our old leader board (and its simple points system and Sunday night reset) with a sliding 7-day barometer of you and your friends”. “Check-ins now trigger points for dozens of different types of actions.” Loyalty will be addressed by offering merchants additional ways to reward “swarms, groups of friends, regulars, newbies, or everyone.” Before finishing hit thoughts, Crowley writes, “we’ve got really ambitious plans for the rest of the year and we’re excited to let you play with three big new pieces of the master plan.” Also of note is that an updated BlackBerry client is due out later this week — though…
Google Adds Real Time Traffic Rerouting to Maps
The update will be available for US and Europe and will require you to do nothing to activate the rerouting. Which of course begs the question…will we be able to disable it? Sounds silly but when everyone is rerouted, the new route loses it’s value doesn’t it?
Sure not everyone uses Google. No kidding. But my point is that I may not want to be rerouted. Here’s the scoop directly from Google.
Must have app: Edwin
Android already has some good speech input options. The fact that you can send texts or do Google and Google Map searches via text is great. There’s a free app, called “Edwin”, that extends your voice controls even further and makes the phone even more useful.
An Open Letter To Google Regarding Making The Android OS Better For All Of US!
Dear Google,
I love the Android, after using my Droid for over a year, I’ve found it incredibly useful. However, there are some gaping holes that I can’t believe you’ve overlooked. And I’m not the only one, I’ve spent plenty of time on forums to find that I’m not a unique little snowflake in my frustration over these things.
My New Verizon iPhone Arrived Today
I really couldn’t wait for the Verizon iPhone. I tried to justify myself not spending any more money on any new Apple product, but the stars aligned. My current contract with Verizon was set to expire, and my wife wanted my AT&T iPhone as she’s never had an iPhone before. (Gasp!)
While it’s near identical to the previous version, I had to immediately check out tethering. You’d think there’d be a button, or something easy to find. It’s not easy, it’s hidden in preferences, under > General > Network. Yes it works just fine. What didn’t really work for me however, was Google Voice. I tried and tried to forward my voicemail to Google Voice, but I keep getting the Verizon operator telling me my call cannot be completed. Strange.

Apple to Sell $2 Billion in Apps in 2011
According to Citibank, 2011 is expected to maintain Apple dominance in the App market space. In the next 4 years, they expect the total app marketplace to grow to $27 billion!
Smartphone sales grew in 2010 by 56%

Apple’s App Store has been a driving force behind the revitalized app economy ever since it first launched. According to Citibank, the App Store’s dominance won’t be slowing down anytime soon. In its U.S. Internet Stock 2011 Playbook, Citibank estimates that Apple will pull in up to $2 billion in gross revenue next year via the App Store. And if research firm Gartner’s forecasts are accurate, that number could be low. Gartner believes the global app market in 2010 totaled $4 billion, and that revenues will climb to a staggering $27 billion over the next two years. The growing popularity of smartphones is obviously seen as a major contributing factor to the exploding…
