Google has just announced that Chrome for Android left beta stage, and now the Google Earth Android App has been updated to version 7.0, bringing with it the full 3D Cities we saw at Google's maps event earlier in the month.
Only a dozen or so cities are available in 3D, so it could be a while until you are able to fly over your own home town. Also, the app is clearly a memory hog in 3D Mode several reviews have indicated crashes occurring, and on a Verizon Galaxy Nexus the app did often slow down as it continued to render higher quality tiles onto the 3D map.
Instagram, the popular photo-editing and sharing app, has received its first round of updates since Facebook splurged to acquire it to the tune of one billion dollars. The iOS version was updated yesterday to version 2.5, and today the much younger Android variant received most of the same features as it reached version 1.1.4.
The big question for many users is, has Facebook sunk its claws into Instagram in a way that will hurt the user experience? After all, they presumably didn't drop a billion dollars just for kicks. The answer to that is sort of the updates introduce a Facebook heart feature that you tap on to show you like it. By default this only shows up for other Instagram users, but in the options menu you can choose to share your likes to Facebook automatically.
