It’s been a long time coming but TomTom’s and Garmin’s worst nightmare is officially here in the shape of Google Maps Navigation, a turn-by-turn navigation app from Google (obviously).

Here are some of the key features of this software:

• Turn-by-turn voice guidance
• Automatic rerouting
• 3D view
• Traffic view
• Satellite view
• Street view
• Voice search
• Automatic map updates

Google Maps Navigation will ship with Android 2.0 devices, the first of which being the Motorola Droid but unfortunately for us in Europe it will be US only to begin with. Check out the presentation video below and see what you think, personally I’d suggest selling your TomTom shares pretty sharpish.

ok, ok so this is old news a little but it’s always fun to keep a track of the Giant deserts at the Googleplex. Each one appears there not long before the so named Android version is released so Android 2.0 (Eclair) is clearly not far away….like anyone needed telling that!

The chaps over at Pocket-lint have posted up a very nice gallery of hands-on shots of the X2. The X2 has been somewhat overlooked given the growing excitement that’s building up around Rachael so it’s nice to see it getting some attention. Head on over to Pocket-lint to see the rest of the gallery and check out what they thought of it.

Just a reminder for you all to check out the Yahoo! portal tomorrow afternoon at 3 pm (UK time). Yahoo! and Sony Ericsson have teamed up for what is being billed as the first ‘online flash mob’, which will see around 27,000 space hoppers bursting across the Yahoo! portal. The event is being hosted as part of the PR campaign to promote Aino and Satio and has seen around 200,000 people visit the Hopperinvasion.com website where you can design your very own space hopper. According to Sony Ericsson’s UK MD the UK alone accounted for some 60% of the site’s visitors.

So remember to go take a look tomorrow!
