Google Maps for mobile — it’s one of the greatest offerings that Google’s made in my humble opinion. Armed with my handset (and data connection) and this software, I can never be lost again in the city. Hungry and need to find a local pizzeria in a hurry? No digging through Yellow Pages, [...]

Today, Martin Johnson released something I’m been waiting a long time for in his progress of porting Android to the Vogue — SD controller support!

This is just a gripe that Google hasn’t released Google Maps Mobile v2.2.0 for a Windows Mobile-based phones or pocket PCs yet. The version has been out for the Blackberry’s for weeks… Where’s my update!?
Edit: this has been out for ages now, disregard.
