Közel egy hónappal ezelőtt jelent meg a Marketen egy magyar fejlesztésű navigációs program, az Egérút, amelynek célja, hogy felhasználói a lehető leggyorsabban elérjék úticéljukat. Ugyan az alkalmazás alapötlete nem számít újdonságnak, hiszen ezeket a funkciókat már régóta megtalálhatjuk a népszerű Waze alkalmazásban is, de mindenképpen hasznos megoldást nyújt a hazai okostelefonnal rendelkező köz...
Go easy on the gas, Speed Racer, because Cordon is on its way. Developed by Simicon, this new speed sensor promises to take highway surveillance to new heights of precision.

Whenever a car enters its range, the Cordon will automatica...
Nokia Maps is still getting development love, despite the Finnish manufacturer pinning its smartphone hopes and dreams on Windows Phone.

Google's Galaxy Nexus may be a lot of things: the fourth-coming of Android , an HD Super AMOLED showcase and iPhone 4S competitor. But weather forecaster ? Alright, so it won't give you hourly atmospheric updates with an air swipe, but the built-in barometer that's got so many of us scratching our heads has a much different purpose. Android engineer Dan Morrill took to the social pages of G...
A week ago the world went wild over CERN's tentative claim that it could make neutrinos travel faster than light . Suddenly, intergalactic tourism and day trips to the real Jurassic Park were back on the menu, despite everything Einstein said. Now, however, a team of scientists at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands reckons it's come up with a more plausible (and disappointing) expla...
Apple’s latest iOS brings enhanced location services to your iPhone. So enhanced that some apps make it seem a little bit scary at just how well they’re tracking you, even when the app isn’t running—but it’s a good thing! Right?
Updated location features in iOS mean that apps like Foursquare and Apple’s own Reminders can notify you when you enter or leave a geographic region. For instance, Fours...

With a price tag of $400, it's certainly intended for the most dedicated (or affluent) athletes, but for the outlay of cash, you'll find it provides detailed metrics such as swim distance, pool len...
Több helyen is olvasható utalás arra, hogy a 4G-s hálózati forgalom zavarhatja a GPS jeleket. Eddig azt gondolhattuk, hogy ez csak szóbeszéd. Azonban az alábbi cikkből úgy tűnik, ez bizonyos helyeken valós veszély lehet. A LightSquared abbéli igyekezetében, hogy rávegye a kormányt, hogy hagyja jóvá az új 4G-hálózat beindításával kapcsolatos terveit, arra is hajlandó lenne, [...]

Ahogy már említettem, néhány napja nálam lakik egy iGO primo 2.0, amelyet az NNG Kft.-től kaptam kipróbálásra. Bár hazánkban, ezen a vason nem lesz iGO primo az üzletekben, mégis ejtenék róla néhány szót az érdekesség kedvéért. Azt gondolom, hogy sokan nem hallottatok még erről a kütyüről, nálunk nem is kapható. Most is csak arra szolgál, [...]
