Google Maps: Indonesia Map View Available

Google Maps now uses TeleAtlas as their provider for Indonesian maps. Previously, they used TeleAtlas only for Google Earth while for Google Maps they used NAVTEQ which does not have Indonesian maps.

When zoomed to a certain country or region, if you perform a search, the result will show only items on that region. Give it a try and search for "Bengkel Mobil Setya" whenever you're viewing Jakarta region.

TweetDeck Review - Twitter and Facebook Status Integration

Ever got tired of updating your status twice for Twitter and Facebook? if yes, why not give TwitterDeck a try? TwitterDeck is a Twitter client dashboard application developed using Adobe AIR (installation of Adobe AIR required which will be automatically performed while downloading TwitterDeck) which allows status update integration with Twitter, Facebook and others. Since the platform used is Adobe AIR, TwitterDeck supports PC, Mac and Linux and perhaps more when Adobe AIR is available on other platforms.

The interface is nice, clean and simple, all you need to do is login your Twitter account and status, replies and direct messages of your friends will appear. To add other clients such as facebook, simply click on the facebook icon on the top and it will ask you for your permission to allow this application to update status.

Friend updates will appear on the top right of your screen which can be removed. However, you cannot customized what will appear on the popup (for example if you want the popup to show only your friend's Facebook update). Other than that, the application is working seamlessly, hopefully that minor problem can be fixed during the release.

Nav N Go / IGO 8.3.xx Application plus Indonesian contents

The new IGO 8.3 or R3 has been around for some time now. What's new is that Indonesian content was very hard find since the new 8.3 version uses Naviextra's maps which is different from IGO 8.0. To make it easier for everyone to obtain a copy, below I would like to summarize the important links:

• IGO 8.3 R3 main application (no content) for PDA and PNA:

• Indonesian Maps, 3D buildings and POI (September 2008):

• Terrain (DEM) file:

• Voice and language file (taken from IGO 8.0 which the map and poi will not work on 8.3 R3 version, take only the language and voice files):

EDIT: For those who only need english voice and language can ommit the above Voice and Language File and download the file from http://rapidshare.com/files/221863216/igo8englishvoiceandlang.zip.

For the latest IGO 8.4 (R4) or IGO Amigo, you can get your copy from http://rapidshare.com/files/219805682/amigo_mar12.rar (pass: moslek).

Since I included map and POI for version 8.0 in the link above (map is March 2008), I will also provide IGO 8.0 link for those who would prefer 8.0 version:

• IGO 8.0 (8.0.0.49545) main application for PDA and PNA:
  http://rapidshare.com/files/145349772/igo8.rar
• IGO 8.0 R1 (8.0.0.54000) upgrade (requires the above file, copy and replace):

Blackberry: Facebook Application Missing from Blackberry App World

Just today afternoon GMT +7 I realized that Facebook application was missing from my Blackberry App World Social Networking & Sharing section. While this morning I checked and it was still there and the version was still 1.2. I keep monitoring on Facebook application due to the awaiting of Facebook Application 1.5. So could this be it? is RIM finally uploading Facebook 1.5 to their servers or is it only my Blackberry? Can anyone confirm? Thanks!

Blackberry: Blackberry App World Review

Yesterday, while browsing to Blackberry Help from my phone, I found out that RIM had release Blackberry App World. The long awaited Blackberry application which is said to be competing with Apple iPhone App Store. Well the main focus is the same: to help users find software easier and better in a single application rather than having to download from several places.



Well personally I think all phones should have this feature as it is very useful. The file size is about 523.4KB and it requires users to restart their phone to use it. Also, RIM included nice collection of wallpapers for your Blackberry device.

All in all, the interface is nice and looks like the default Blackberry Bold theme UI (Blackberry version 4.6). When you first open the application, it will present you with Featured Items with a nice scrolling UI and several icons below it to Categories, Top Downloads, Search and My World. When you select an application, it will show a description of the application and allow you to select several options:

• Download - allowing you to download this application directly
  
• Reviews - read reviews on this application
  
• Recommend - recommend this application to your friend via email, MMS, PIN or SMS
  
• Screenshot - showing a screenshot of the application

The best feature I liked from Blackberry App World is to allow you to view screenshots of the application. Very useful whenever you wanted to know what the application does.

Below are several screenshots of Blackberry App World:


The current version I downloaded yesterday morning was 1.0.0.26 and I re-downloaded it and got a newer version 1.0.0.27 and no information on the newer build perhaps there was bug fixes?

The reason I had to re-download was because I could not delete the downloaded application history, even after I deleted the application it would still be listed in "My World". Well, upgrading to the newer version deleted the installed application history. Funny thing is I thought updates on certain application will appear here but after re-installing the Blackberry App World, it wiped all downloaded application without warning.
