You could be forgiven for thinking that Garmin may not be on the best of terms with Google and Android after the announcement of Google Maps Navigation but it seems they may actually be thinking “if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em”.
The slide above is from Garmin’s Q3 2009 Earnings Call Webcast and clearly shows that the nüvifone family will be extended to Android in 2010. Of course, no further details are given but it seems Android can expect two new turn-by-turn applications, the more the merrier.
Everybody knows Adobe Photoshop for PC and Mac but now there is a mobile version for you Android phone with “Photoshop.com Mobile App“.
You’ll be able to edit and tweak pictures…in fact I’ll let Adobe explain:
Perfect your pictures with the Photoshop.com Mobile App on your Android phone. Simply drag your finger to crop, adjust color, apply effects—you name it.
Crop, rotate, and color-correct with the touch of a finger.
Add soft focus or change to black & white with a click.
Go classic by adding a sepia tint.
Intuitive Photo Browser for viewing local and online images.
When your image is perfect, make it your phone background.
Once you’ve created a Photoshop.com account you’ll also be able to upload your photos and store them online. This is great to see on Android as well as the iPhone and a sure sign of the recognition that the platform is gaining. The Adobe site states that the app is available now on the Android Market but I found nothing when following their QR Code so I assume it’s location dependent at the moment i.e. U.S. only.
Here’s a tutorial video from Adobe to show you more:
Everybody is busy making their own custom UI for Android and not to be outdone by SE’s UX Platform or Motorola’s MOTOBLUR, Samsung have produced TouchWiz which you can expect to see on the Behold II handset.
This is a cube based navigation system, perhaps reminiscent of the Linux cube, but I’ll let you see that for yourself…here’s the vid:
