There seems to be a large amount of negative “buzz” surrounding Google’s new Buzz social networking thing today, with most of the internet deciding they’ve already got enough bloody social networks, than-you-very-much Mr Google.
But if you are excited about the prospect of sharing sandwich recommendations with your friends via the Buzz, your Android version of Google Maps will help – it’s been updated to version 4.0.0 and now incorporates everything you need to get Buzz-ing.
Google’s Mobile blog says Maps 4.0 works with Android 1.6 and above.
Once you’ve activated the Buzz Layer on Google Maps, you’re free to start synchronising and sharing place recommendations with your friends, a bit like… numerous other social tools currently available.
Apparently there’s also a new “Night Mode” in the Navigation tool, but seeing as Google Maps Navigation is still missing from the European version, we wouldn’t know anything about that.
See the full spec list and features of Maps 4.0 over on Cyrket.
HTC’s 4.3″ dual-core Android model, powered by Qualcomm’s all-new S4 processor. It’s smaller than the enormous One X, but is it as nice as its bigger brother? (SPOILER: Yes it is).
HTC is very much B-A-C-K at the top of the Android world with this, its quad-core flagship for 2012. Great camera, huge 4.7″ display and Android 4.0 running beautifully well.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?
