Re: iPhone 4 Bumper help/question
That is way to long to go without having some kind of protection. I am a little OCD about all the iPhones that i have had in the past. The value is just to high to not care about them. Isn't there a way to buy a case and have Apple refund you the money? Should I go this route? But it's probably specific models isn't it? Thanks for the help everyone.

Re: When is a 2nd Day Air delivery delivered on the day of delivery?
or are you talking about time?? That all depends on the route you live on. UPS hits my neighborhood around 11 am but fed ex is around 4:30. Depends on the driver's route and how busy they are..

Android OS Navigates The Way
Broadcom Company has announced , at the 2010 CES, that they have successfully ran Android on their most advanced navigation processor, the Broadcom® BCM4760. Broadcom says: “enabling a new generation of location-aware mobile internet devices (MIDs) and personal navigation devices (PNDs). As PNDs and MIDs evolve to include increasingly sophisticated navigation functionality and location based services, support for open operating systems will make these devices attractive to a broader range of application developers, driving innovation and improved user experiences.” Broadcom’s success with Android will lead to MIDs and PNDs that will better utilize mapping, navigation, and location applications using bluetooth and Wi-Fi! [via Broadcom ] Navigon has also made an announcement at this year’s CES in Las Vegas. Navigon is bringing their MobileNavigator to Android users in North America. The MobileNavigator originally launched on Apple’s iPhone, and has now been improved to handle Android. The Navigator uses your phone’s GPS along with it’s preloaded maps to provide accurate navigation during points in which there is no cellular service. Navigon’s MobileNavigator has key features such as: Reality View™ Pro displays photo-realistic 3D views with actual road signs and lane guidance for virtually every highway interchange and exit drivers will encounter. Lane Assistant Pro helps drivers prepare to make an upcoming exit or turn by providing a lane map complete with arrows and actual road geometry. Text-to-speech announces street names in addition to turn-by-turn directions. Instead of only stating “turn right”, the app informs the user to “turn right on to ‘Main Street’, enabling the driver to further concentrate on the road ahead and not become distracted looking for street signs. Speed Assistant with adjustable audio-visual warning. Day & Night Mode for map display. Direct Access allows navigation to contacts saved in the phone’s address book. Route Planning The Navigon MobileNavigator application for Android devices will be available in the Spring of 2010 and will be available for a one time fee, which has not yet been announced. [via BusinessWire ] Navigation devices have come such a long way from our original expensive devices to our super sleek Android phones. It will be exciting to see what additions and new features these and advances in Android navigation will bring in addition to the Google Maps Navigation we are familiar with.

Google pisses off every GPS company
Wow, we didn’t see this one coming . Today Google announced Google Maps Navigation (Beta) which features turn-by-turn GPS navigation with voice guidance. The new navigation system is part of Google Maps for mobile and is available for phones with Android 2.0. If you were thinking about buying a shiny new GPS unit for Christmas, save your money and get the service for free on your phone. Highlights of the service include: Search in plain English ( watch video ). No need to know the address. You can type a business name or even a kind of a business, just like you would on Google. Search by voice ( watch video ). Speak your destination instead of typing (English only): “Navigate to the de Young Museum in San Francisco”. Traffic view ( watch video ). An on-screen indicator glows green, yellow, or red based on the current traffic conditions along your route. A single touch toggles a traffic view which shows the traffic ahead of you. Search along route ( watch video ). Search for any kind of business along your route, or turn on popular layers such as gas stations, restaurants, or parking. Satellite view ( watch video ). View your route overlaid on 3D satellite views with Google’s high-resolution aerial imagery. Street View ( watch video ). Visualize turns overlaid on Google’s Street View imagery. Navigation automatically switches to Street View as you approach your destination. Car dock mode ( watch video ). For certain devices, placing your phone in a car dock activates a special mode that makes it easy to use your device at arm’s length. I really hope G1 owners get Android 2.0 now.
