Best Android Apps / 978-1-449-38255-1 My husband has had an Android phone for over a year now, and he floolws the available apps pretty closely; I, on the other hand, am about to move from a Blackberry to a Android, so I was delighted to have the chance to review this book on behalf of the publisher. I'm first delighted to announce that even though my husband predicted that he'd already have or know about all these best Android apps, we found quite a few even in the first chapter that he didn't know about and was intrigued enough to read more. Of course, with this sort of book, time marches on and threatens to make the material out of date quickly, but we were pleased to note that several of the apps mentioned as being the best in their category were ones that he already has been using and enjoys immensely such as the ones for email management, task tracking, and application killing so there was some nice validation there, knowing that the book knew what it was talking about. For the newbies, such as myself and my parents (who are also moving to Android phones), there is a wonderful amount of information here. The authors have gone to a lot of trouble to pick the best apps in various categories such as security and app scheduling and phone ring customization and they careful explain the pros and limitations of each app, along with helpful screenshots. One way in which this book stood out as being more valuable than, say, just doing the research yourself was in the way that many apps performed functions that I would not have even thought of myself, but which I immediately wanted for instance, an app to store all your reward cards' barcodes so you don't have to lug them all in your wallet all the time! If I have any complaints about this book, it would be that perhaps the organization of the material is not entirely perfect. Several reviewers have already mentioned that the app-codes in the back of the book would make more sense placed with the app description; I also noted that once or twice an app in a later category (like Business Management ) would gently overlap with an earlier app (like Overall Best in Category ) and I'd wish the two apps were grouped together to better compare the pros and cons. Indeed, maybe a big table of what app does what would have been valuable, but that might have been too ambitious. Overall, we found this book to be extremely helpful. Between my parents and I and my husband, we wrote a list of apps we wanted from this book, and the list ended up being several pages long, with several of the apps being things that we would not have thought of on our own. I do recommend this book heartily, and I hope that they continue to update the edition as more apps are released on the marketplace.

The TomTom ONE 125 3.5-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator with U.S. Maps is one of many new updated GPS units alilaabve this fall. It is compact and well designed. And for those with more extensive foreign language needs than the standard English or Spanish options included with most beginner units, the two dozen included screen languages and even more spoken languages will blow you away. Perhaps the overall best feature is the map-share updates that allow users to alert when a route has been closed or changed due to construction. Instead of having to pay and wait for next years update, if you subscribe to this you get it for free! Additionally, the TomTom's safety features are also head and shoulders above the competition. The included menu allows you be alerted with speed warnings, traffic cameras, and even directions to emergency services via the one touch Help Me! menu.However, there are some basic features missing, including an SD memory card and text to speech directions. While I do not intend to outline all the features of competing products, I am going to compare this product where relevant to show users where they might need to consider other options. I personally have owned many Garmin models, one Magellan Maestro and a starter Navigon unit. There are even many more options on the market today, but I believe most users should be choosing from these four brands for a starter unit.PROS:+ Great compact starter GPS unit with convenient all-in-one form factor+ The map-share updates are the killer app of the TomTom GPS line; bad routes are corrected by users like you, and you can get the updates with the application+ Comes with a GPS, USB PC syncing cable, car power adapter and mounting disk+ The included integrated mount is more convenient, though it mounts closer to the window than I would like+ An updated map is provided free of charge if they come out within 30 days of purchase+ Add-on applications and updates are not all free but still priced better than Garmin's+ AWESOME safety feature extras to alert for driving breaks, speed limits and thresholds+ Also warns you by default to remove the unit when you reach your destination+ Cool safety camera alerts give you audio and video of cameras on your route+ Help Me! emergency menu directs you to emergency services with one click+ Status bar preferences also allow extra features (compass, next street, etc.)+ Many more included car symbols than Garmin or Magellin+ Includes a pedestrian mode comparable to Garmin's under planning preferences + Interface Includes icons to alert you when you are nearing POIs+ Does seem to update route changes faster than other models+ Gives you the option to automatically avoid delays with traffic updates (though receiver is sold separately and it's not clear if and where one can be connected to this model)+ The TomTom Home application makes it VERY EASY to update settings and download software extras+ Still displays info even without a connection, unlike the Garmin models which sometimes *hide maps* till they find the signal again+ While it is equally poor at acquiring signals as other models, it does seem to hold signals better than others+ Incredible spoken and display language options give you almost 25 language options!!!CONS:- No SD memory card slot!!! That means internal memory is your absolute limit; new maps may replace old ones, and you will have to update for each new map with a computer when travelling, while with the Garmin you could simply bring all your maps on cards- The power / USB connection port is recessed into the bottom of the unit; this may make it hard to use some standard USB cables to connect to your computer in a pinch- The standard USB connection cable has a connector that is at a right angle, which keeps it out of the way but also makes it harder to remove- Dashboard mount disk must be stuck with adhesive to your dash; Garmin friction mount is better, though they do sell alternative
