Google Maps Navigation has finally reached Malaysia. For quite some time now, most Malaysian drivers have just used Google Maps as a method of mapping, but now with Maps Navigation in place you can get turn-by-turn instruction with Voice guidance through GPS and Internet pinpointing (perhaps helped along due to the recent Waze buyout). Previously, if you wanted Google Maps Navigation to turn on, you had to use mods which often resulted in unstable and inaccurate navigation. Now, with the new Google Maps Navigation Beta all you need to do to get some turn-by-turn navigation is to tap the Navigation option or enable Navigation when searching for directions in Google Maps. This will load up the Beta disclaimer page and you can choose to enable the Google Maps Navigation Beta from now on.

If you were wishing for a Samsung Galaxy S4, LG Nexus 4, Sony Xperia Z or HTC One without any contract but still at a subsidized price, then DiGi is the first telco to offer this type of deal. Covering four of the major smartphones in Malaysia, another thing setting them apart is that they all offer Google Edition versions although, we're pretty sure you won't get the Google Edition if you buy any of them except for the LG Nexus 4. While you won't be contracted for 12 or 24 months you will be signed on with a DG SmartPlan 58 but you can terminate the plan anytime without any early termination fee. In addition to this you will also get two months monthly fee waived. For more details on pricing check out the table below:

If you had Google Glass what would you do with it? Jump out of a plane and skydive to a rooftop below? If it were us, probably not, which is exactly what Google are thinking with their latest promo video showing off Google Glass. Rather than do something amazing or outstanding, it shows what most people in real life would end up using Google Glass for. We have to admit that it certainly looks fun and useful, especially to ask whatever question that pops up in your head, like are there any good Thai restaurants nearby?

Already, two major smartphones have become Nexus devices by going Google Edition and it appears that the Sony Xperia Z Google Edition is next in line. Admittedly still the flagship smartphone of Sony, the Sony Xperia Z will follow suit and go stock Google according to two separate Android rumour sites. Like the Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One before it, the Sony Xperia Z will get faster Nexus-like updates but apart from the ROM, it won't get any hardware refresh so tech specs should remain the same.

After Google's recent surprise Nexus device unveiling of a Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Edition at Google I/O, quite a few smartphone makers are looking to do the same with their smartphones. HTC are no different as rumours are about that they are working on a similar HTC One Google Edition as well. Currently all HTC One smartphones use Android as the operating system with HTC's Sense UI layered on top of it. Opting for a HTC One Google Edition would mean this Sense UI being removed leaving the stock vanilla Android. Like all Nexus devices it would certainly mean faster updates from Google (which may or may not improve UltraPixel camera performance).

Right before Google I/O, quite a few people were expecting that the good folks at Google would be releasing Android 4.3 and a new Google device or device refresh. Turns out that everything else got updated and the device in question was basically a Samsung Galaxy S4 with stock Android. This has therefore started new rumours, one of which being that we may be seeing a refresh of the Google Nexus 7 tablet and that it may come with Android 4.3.

While many have dismissed Google Glass as being just another fad, the likelihood of it staying on and growing just got bigger as a number of big names have announced apps (or Glassware as Google wants to call them) for the wearable computer glasses. These include Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, CNN and Evernote covering a range of social media, news and note taking applications. Granted, what you can do with each app is still rather limited but this should grow as the developers mature the apps even further.
