Google Earth updated, fixes issues with Tegra 2 devices

Google Earth

Google has updated the Google Earth app, fixing a pesky-as-hell bug that caused the app to crash during startup on Tegra 2 devices.  NVIDIA uses special instructions for the Tegra chip, and while they work amazingly well when used properly (check out some Tegra games if you haven’t yet), sometimes different specialized hardware makes it difficult for the generic “works everywhere” app to use the full set of features.

Leaked part hints at upcoming iPad 3 redesign

A leaked component that is purportedly part of Apple’s unannounced iPad 3 suggests that the tablet may feature a brand new design. The new part is a microphone mic flex cable ribbon that was leaked by TVC-Mall. Unlike the iPad 2, the flex cable in the iPad 3 makes a U-Turn, suggesting additional components have been reconfigured within the iPad 3′s case. Redesigned internal hardware don’t necessarily mean the iPad 3 will will feature a cosmetic redesign, but earlier reports claimed that Apple’s new iPad would feature a thicker case in order to accomodate a high-resolution display panel that isn’t quite as slender as the iPad 2′s panel. The latest rumors suggest Apple could unveil the tablet as soon as March or April, and it may also be working on a new smaller iPad model that will launch later in the year.

Verizon Galaxy Nexus Image Gallery

We’ve known what it’s going to look like for awhile now. I want to actually hold one in my hands. Having owned a Droid X for nearly a year, I want to compare hardware in person. I’d like to see if Samsung hardware feels as cheap as people say (I’ve heard Moto is typically better) and, more importantly, if that screen is as amazing as I think it will be.

Sprint Epic 4G Touch gets unofficial CyanogenMod 7.2 port

E4GT CM 7.2

It’s not anything official, but enterprising Android developer bubby323 has ported CyanogenMod 7.2 to the Sprint Epic 4G Touch.  Yes, 7.2 is Gingerbread and not the Ice Cream Sandwich everyone wants, but CM9 (the ICS-based build number) isn’t quite ready for any unsupported devices. We’ll manage with Gingerbread for a while longer.

webOS ‘running’ on an EVO 3D isn’t really webOS ‘running’ on an EVO 3D

EVO 3D

We’ve all seen this by now — it’s webOS booted up on an EVO 3D, and it’s got everyone in a tizzy.  While webOS fans who have spent decades (it seems like decades anyway) having the horrible hardware of the Pre and Pixi have reason to be excited, everyone seems to be getting ahead of themselves.
