Top of the morning, it’s time to start the day off right with a dose of tech news. In today’s US Update we bring you the latest on the Google Maps Navigation beta update, unveils Samsung’s 2011 Bluetooth headset line up, show you how to be the first to play Angry Birds for Facebook and more.
Tired of dealing with traffic on your daily commute and have a shiny new Android phone in your pocket? Alas, Google Maps Navigation beta now supports real time traffic when creating alternate routes. Just use the app as normal and the fastest route will now be calculated based on current and historical traffic data, real-time.
Samsung introduced three new Bluetooth headsets today: the HM1610, HM3600 and Modus 6450. The headsets are priced $39.99, $59.99 and $99.99 respectively and should be a great addition to their line. More hints of a possible 18-inch Dell M18x gaming laptop have surfaced on Dell’s support site. The M18x is currently listed under Alienware Laptops, begging the question ‘is the M18x for real?’
Angry Birds is headed to Facebook. On the official Angry Birds Facebook fan page, you can now sign up to be the first to know about availability and even gain access to exclusive content. The game’s developers have confirmed Angry Birds for Facebook lands next month.
Wrapping up this morning’s news is an update on the HTC Flyer. Acording to the Chinese news outlet Commercial Times, the HTC Flyer will be priced around $600 and HTC has already placed an order for one million units due by August 2011.
That wraps up the best in tech for this fine morning. As always I’m Nick Marshall and I’ll be back tomorrow, thanks.
