Is the Google Android logo 'stolen'? |
|
Sep 02, 2010 - 4:11 PM - by JohnDroid

Engadget just broke a news story about how it 'appears' that Google may have misappropriated some artwork from an old Atary Lynx game (kudos if you had one back in the day, I did). The game in question is 'Gauntlet: The Third Encounter' and as you might have guessed features an Android shaped very similar to the Android robot that we know.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that there are only so many million permutations of what the human typically envisions when they picture an "Android" in their head. Eventually, somewhere, your going to find that likeness on multiple products. I think it's going to be a stretch for conspiracy theorists to really believe that this icon is ripped from Atari's long forgotten arcade collection.
What are your thoughts?

Vlingo adds voice check-ins to Foursquare and other features |
|
Sep 02, 2010 - 1:51 PM - by JohnDroid

It looks like Vlingo is making headway in cutting deals with other popular Android apps because they've just created some integration with Foursquare. Vlingo allows you to use voice commands to perform common tasks. Some examples include updating your status on Facebook and Twitter.
If you are unsure what we are talking about, take a look at the embedded youtube video above as it pretty much shows you what's up.
I don't think Foursquare has really hit a critical mass with our userbase yet, but I'd love to hear from people out there who are really using it on a daily basis. Please let us know how it works and how the Vlingo integration makes it a better or worse experience.
