News round-up: free Google navigation, UK Pre, Storm typing.

28 October 2009 by Shaun 2 Comments

nru1Rumours abound that Google is working on a free navigation app for Android. It would be appear to be advert funded and with the success of Google Maps well in the bag, how can this idea fail?

A new review of the UK Palm Pre has been posted at Mobile Industry Review and there is little doubt that the software is the star of the show in the reviewers eyes. He has a point.

One part of the recent ChangeWave survey I forgot to mention is that over 99% of iPhone users are happy with their devices and that it is number one on buyers wish lists. These are mightily impressive stats by any measure.

BlackBerryCool has posted a video showing the typing differences between the original Storm and the Storm 2. It seems that OS5 is as much involved in the improvement as the new hardware.

HTC has released a ROM update for the Touch Diamond2 which includes tha update to Windows Mobile 6.5. Good to see so many updates coming out so quickly for the HTC range.

Jan Ole Suhr, the man behind the Gravity Twitter client, recently announced during an interview that over 90% of his revenue comes from his own website. This is not exactly the best advert for Ovi where it is also available.

    It’s not possible for 99% of users of ANY product to be happy. I don’t get that survey.
