Deluge of updates [Maps / Goggles / Wikipedia / Data counter widget]
I love getting updates in my market. I like to check out what’s new, and how it makes the phone better.
So, in just the 2 days since I last wrote I’ve gotten 4 (that I’ll write about here, and potentially some others) that have some big updates.
This app just appeared in the Market, on what I’m calling BLACK-SOPA day. It was pretty great on it’s own. Nothing to write home about, and just as good as the other options (i.e. Wapedia). So within a couple days they’ve already come out with some updates. Probably fixes mind you, but it shows that developers are interested in ensuring a positive experience on an Android device.
Nothing major, just setting itself to a ‘night mode’ when you enter what it knows as tunnels. Simple… but that’s what I love about Google.
One of my favourite novelty items from Google.
This updates includes some performance fixes.
…and finally my godsend widget…
I like this as it helps me with a quick glance to let me know how much data I’ve used. I’m on a limited plan (only 500mb… still just enough for me), and this is super useful. Now… given that I should have something ICS in a couple of days, this widget might end up being moot; however, most of this update deals with ICS abilities (compatibility, widget resizing, etc…).
So, there’s the apps – they’ve updated — and if you haven’t downloaded them previously … go do it now. They’re great apps. If you have any of them, and you haven’t seen the notification to update, just pop into the market and it should show up then.
