Google Maps 5.0 (Android)

As a loyal iPhone user and Mac-head this is not easy for me; but here goes.  Google Maps for Android 5.0 looks amazing. Frankly I think that much of what Google does these days is a footnote to its search and advertising empire … but this is potentially huge. And when a company can actually say that it offers 3D real-time mapping on a mobile phone, well, they’re entitled to their accomplishment as a game changer. So check out this video for a closer look at the technology and prepare to be seriously impress.

P.S. Apple, please take the hint. iPhone is beginning to look a little shabby here. Be careful or Google may eat your lunch … again.

iPhone tethering is here … sort of

R/W/W: How To Turn Your iPhone into a Wi-Fi Hotspot By Sarah Perez (May 5)

Feel like hacking your phone today? If you’ve got about 10 minutes to spare, you can turn your iPhone into a Wi-Fi hotspot using a combination of the latest “jailbreaking” software and an app called MyWi. The app takes your iPhone’s 3G data connection and shares it out so other computers can connect to it as if it’s just another Wi-Fi network. You can even share your 3G connection with your iPad, if you’d like. <<Read the Article>>

Foursquare’s First TV Commercial

See if you can tell who Foursquare is targeting in it’s first TV Spot

By MG Siegler on Feb 24, 2010 for TechCrunch

First Google, now Foursquare. Hot on the heels of Google’s first search-related television ad during the Super Bowl, location-based social network-as-game sensation Foursquare is gearing up to do the same thing tonight on cable network Bravo during the show Sheer Genius from 9 to 10 PM. It’s a 20-second spot in which Foursquare highlights its recently announced partnership with the network. The idea is to show users real-world locations for Bravo’s show.

Now this is hardly a piece of legal or even legal-tech news, except that Foursquare is the embodiment of the casestreaming concept I wrote about in this TechnoLawyer piece over a year ago. Oh, how the times have changed. And now that location-aware apps are all around us, including Twitter of course which got geolocation capabilities last year, we’re all that much closer to being forced into acknowledging colleagues in our vicinity whether we want to or not. I think I just felt a chill run down my spine.

Top Ten iPhone Apps for Busy Lawyers

From Reid Trautz, Attorney and friend to Practicehackers everywhere, comes this handy article, which begins:

Here is the short-version of what Reid is talking about:

AppBoxPro.  Multi-function apps for iPhone including currency converter, date calculator, translator, etc. $0.99

Bento. Simple, powerful database.  Looks like iTunes and is designed to be easy to use.  Syncs to desktop.   Templates for common tasks included as well. $4.99

Bump. Open the app on iPhone, select how much to share, gently bump with another iPhone, and viola – the information has been shared. $free

Documents to Go (Premium Ed.) Create, edit, and view Word, Excel and PowerPoint’s, plus view PDF’s and other formats.  Essential for most every lawyer.

Dragon Dictation. Free, easy-to-use, and accurate voice-recognition on your iPhone.  Quick alternative to typing e-mails, texts, tweets, or FB updates.

DropBox. File sharing service providing online storage and access from multiple devices. Get up to 2 gigs of storage for free and 50 gigs for just $10 per month

Google Mobile. Google’s mobile app does much more then find stuff, but the voice search feature is extra cool and easier than typing.

People.  Free “White Pages” database and reverse phone # directory.

ScanR Business Center. (See also DocScanner and JotNot) Similar apps may cost less but ScanR is worth the price. Create PDFs using your iPhone camera or a picture.

Skype. You already know what this does. It works great on the  iPhone as well as the Mac.

Things. Task management app for iPhone and Mac.  Syncs and keeps you up to date.
