When you’re not spelling out Objectivist instructions or taking bicycle tours , Google Earth can be a little bit boring. Finally Android users have something new and fun to do: go for a dive. With the release of Google Earth for Android 1.1 (available to Android 2.1 and above devices), you can now zoom in below the surface of the waves and explore the majestic wonder of undersea trenches. The 1.1 release also brings in Flash support, so YouTube videos will play right within the app — if you’re running 2.2 and your device has been granted the appropriate plug-in. The new version is available now, and we have the big honkin’ QR code you need right after the break.

Adobe’s CEO: ‘we’ve moved on’ from Apple’s argument, and Flash still rules

Last Updated on Monday, 16 August 2010 11:13 Written by Darren Murph Monday, 16 August 2010 11:13

You can only humor someone for so long, and it seems as if Adobe is at its breaking point with Apple . Just three months after publishing a new ad campaign that sought to ease the tension between the two mega-corps, Adobe’s CEO has been quoted as saying that his company has “moved on” from the whole ordeal. On one hand, we’re glad to see Adobe focusing its resources on optimizing Flash for the myriad Android 2.2 devices that’ll support its mobile player in the months to come, but on the other, it’s a bit depressing to see Shantanu Narayen essentially give up hope that Jobs and Company will ever come to their senses. For example, have a listen at this, with “they” most certainly referring to Apple: “They’ve chosen to keep their system closed and we’d rather work with partners who are interested in working with us. We believe in open systems. We believe in the power of the internet and in customers making choices and I think a lot of the controversy was about their decision at that point. They’ve made their choice

Verizon confirms original Droid will be getting second Froyo update

Last Updated on Friday, 13 August 2010 04:06 Written by Donald Melanson Friday, 13 August 2010 04:06

It still doesn’t add mobile hotspot or tethering functionality , but it looks like users of the original Droid will soon be getting a second Android 2.2 (a.k.a Froyo ) update. That’s been confirmed by Verizon itself, which says that the second update will be following the just-released one in the “coming weeks,” and that it will let users download Flash 10.1 from the Android Market once it’s available. Details are light beyond that, but Phandroid notes that the rollout of the current Froyo update is expected to be complete around August 18th, and surmises that the second rollout will begin shortly thereafter.

FTC denies request for documents on Adobe complaint, confirms investigation of Apple’s SDK rules?

Last Updated on Thursday, 5 August 2010 07:53 Written by Tim Stevens Thursday, 5 August 2010 07:53

Sure, Apple and Adobe aren’t the best of friends , but their disagreement goes a little further than mild distaste. Apple moved to ban iOS apps not written through its own developer framework (SDK), which more or less killed off Adobe’s iPhone Flash developer tools. Adobe in turn issued a complaint to the FTC, a complaint that Wired requested a copy of under the Freedom of Information Act

Last Updated on Saturday, 24 July 2010 04:41 Written by Darren Murph Saturday, 24 July 2010 04:41

The more the merrier, right? Cutesy sayings aside, the world is gearing up to say “hello” to yet another player in the NAND flash memory market, as Japan’s own Elpida Memory (which currently specializes in DRAM) will be joining the fray in the coming months

Samsung and Toshiba double-down on 400Mbps DDR 2.0 NAND flash memory standard

Last Updated on Friday, 23 July 2010 02:57 Written by Tim Stevens Friday, 23 July 2010 02:57

Our Peter Cetera album collection isn’t exactly getting any larger, yet despite the progress of technology every time we get a new smartphone pulling over all those soothing hits never seems to get any faster. Even a fool can see laggy NAND flash memory is the culprit, and Samsung and Toshiba have a fix with a new DDR NAND flash standard. It offers 400Mbps transfer rates thanks to what they’re calling “toggle DDR 2.0,” similar to the tech in Samsung’s latest SSD , effectively boiling down to a 30nm asynchronous design that’s three times quicker than current DDR 1.0 NAND chips.
