Google just released an update to their Maps app for Android, bringing it to version 4.4. So far Google has bee releasing a fairly substantial update to this app every month for the past several months.

Rather than just talk about the new changes, in the following video I’ve broken down Google Maps based on its four distinct functions (including the new “Places” feature), and demo’d adding a Directions & Navigation shortcut to one of your home screens.

This video shows you update application of Places by Google Maps ;)

PhoneArena reviews the Acer beTouch E110 – a compact and affordable Android smartphone, running version 1.5 of the OS. The technology utilized in the beTouch E110′s making far from spectacular of course, but that’s not the biggest we have with it. Most importantly, our unit came without Android Market, YouTube, Google Maps and the other Google services, which practically made it look more like a fine feature . However, this is market-dependent.
