- MobileNavigator for the iPhone reads street names aloud. This makes the app by NAVIGON even more useful, because you will not need to look at your cell phone while driving. According to the customer feedback, the apps works great even with Spanish street names. You can get it for $89.99 in the US and $139.99 in Europe. (source: Tuaw)
- A donut has appeared in front of Google´s corporate headquarters (Googleplex). This led to a surge in the number of rumors saying the Donut update is around the corner. Although we tend to think this is not unlikely, it´s possible that someone made the giant cookie in an attempt to break a record or something. (source: Phandroid)
- The Huawei Luna U7519 has passed through FCC and is on its way to T-Mobile USА. The device will probably feature a large touch sensitive screen, but it´s unclear what operating system it will run. It features standard things like Bluetooth and microSD card slot, but we will have to wait until more information has leaked. For now, we do like the name (except for the U7519 part).
