Google has pushed out an update for Google Maps 4.1 for Android. It can be found for free in the Android Market. While it’s designed for Android 1.6 and above, remember you will need 2.1 if you want to take advantage of the Live Wallpaper feature
New features include:
Updated search results page: The detailed search page got a major face life. New buttons have been added for map view, navigate, call, and street view. The reviews area has a slick looking colored chart to display star ratings and you can easily buzz about any place..
Swipe for more results:Take a look at the new page, and you can quickly see that Milk Pail Market specializes in cheese, has mostly 4 and 5 star ratings, and also sells fresh vegetables. You can select any section to see more reviews, buzz, etc. If you want to get to more search results without going back to the list, simply grab the page with your finger and swipe it away to the left or right to see the next or last result
Switching Accounts - For those of you with multiple Google accounts, you’ll be able to toggle between your identities. While logged in, you’ll be to access features like Google Buzz, Latitude, Starred items, My Maps, and more.
Google Maps Live wallpaper, is a feature that only works on Android 2.1 devices. It basically makes your wallpaper a map of where you currently are. You can switch between normal, satellite, and terrain maps, and there’s also an option to show traffic.

Pestaola , a Greek mobile website has published a few concept pictures of the “Nokia X9″. According to the leaked source, the Nokia X9 will be powered by Symbian 4 operating system, the latest version of Symbian OS that has Widgets and Touch navigation.The Nokia X9 looks quite stylish with the screen taking the main focus of the phones design and the stylish white back giving it a modern appearance.
The Nokia X9 is based on the X6 and should come with an AMOLED touchscreen display, 12MP camera with HD video recording, and dedicated Facebook and Twitter keys. It would seem natural that the phone should have a HDMI output so you can watch your videos on your TV and that is also something that’s been suggested. it also features slots to add external microSD cards. All known and technologically feasible right now
However there is no more confirmation about the truth of this Nokia X9 Concept rumor.
Sony Ericsson, finally, responded to the complaints about missing equalizer in Music Player of SE Satio and Vivaz. A team of SE developers have come up with a fix today.You can download the Equalizer from PlayNow (it’s free). The Equalizer is simple enough, it just lets you pick from the following options Off, Classical, Jazz, Dance, Party, Pop, Rock, Spoken Word, Loudness, Mega Bass and Treble Boost. And that’s all there is to it. Unfortunately, there’s no option to create a custom equalizer setting.
There are two important notes though: First of all this application needs the latest update to work on Satio (on Vivaz it works on the launch SW of course) and also since it’s a separate application it needs to be started separately when you want to start using it i.e. it’s not included under options in e.g. the music player. When an equalizer setting has been chosen it should stay even if the application is closed or the phone rebooted.

Features include 3G connectivity, 2.8-inch QVGA (most likely) display, Bluetooth, some camera, whereas Samsung’s infamous TouchWIZ user interface will be in charge for all interactions with the device.
The S3370 already made its way through the FCC, so we expect an official announcement soon. Although, there is no official announcement, the Samsung S3370 is expected to be available with a price about €100
