Google Goggles update – Now works with the built-in camera app

Google Goggles

The last Google Goggles update brought the ability to scan images and search for things within those images on Google -  the problem though, was the fact it only worked within Google Googles application and not the built-in camera app. The latest update rolled out today changes that and adds barcode services as well so that when you scan a barcode, the appropriate action is taken — such as opening a url or sending a text message. Minor update overall but an update nonetheless. You’ll find the download link past the break for you all.

Google releases OnTheFly for Android, hopes to make Phil’s travel planning a bit easier

OnTheFly

Whether someone who is always flying around the country, like our very own Phil Nickinson, or just a casual traveler, we all know the pain that is had when searching for and comparing flights. Google hopes to make things easier for us with their latest application OnTheFly. The application allows users to compare flight costs, view an intuitive calendar which compares pricing for 30 days around your trip, and you can also view previous searches so you can keep an eye on pricing. While it does not allow you to book a trip through the application currently, you can price shop, and easily determine which deal is the best. Download links available after the break.

HTC Amaze 4G shows off for the camera, shows us how quick the browser is, and some benchmarks

Android Central

Looking for your next fix of HTC Amaze 4G information to hold you over until you can place your preorder on Oct. 10? The folks over at TMoNews have obtained a few new videos showing off some of the benchmarks and the browser of the device, along with a whole bunch of new images. While it appears as though the device will have a proprietary charger, the configuration is for the MHL equipped USB port, so a standard micro-USB cable will work just fine. Hit the break for some more images along with the videos.

Well, the guys at BGR noticed that the information on the upcoming AT&T version of the Samsung Galaxy S II isn’t so safe behind a once trusted pattern lock, and that it can quite simply be bypassed.
