After the official launch of “Project Fi” the search giant wants to become your landline phone provider.
Nothing really inventive or revolutionary but rather useful if you need it and if you are lucky enough to be on one of the “few areas” where is going to start.
Let’s take a look at the Fiber Phone
This service will be available for all those who uses Google Fiber Internet.
Costing $10 per month, you’ll get full unlimited local national calls, keeping the number you have or picking a new one, you’ll even get caller ID with the phone.
Something you’ll find even more useful is the ability to use either your home line or make it call your cell phone if you’re out.
Working through the same principle as Google Voice this “add on” could be interesting if they get to implemented in the proper way.
In the post announcing the event they said the service is going to be available in few areas to star with, but they didn’t say where, though is safe to think on the four major areas where Google Fiber is available.
Today our UAG case for the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge arrived in Magma red and this colour is quite nice indeed. The case just takes a second to install and you are better off straight away than being caseless. Some folk prefer the naked feel to their device and the 7 edge does feel nice in the hand to hold but protection is something you should always consider due to the high cost of these phones and again if you damage your screen you are talking a big bill here. Check out the image gallery and video review below,this case is a nice one to have and any questions fire away..

For those who travel this is an interesting app.. Ever wondered what is beneath you as fly to your destination?? This new app just does exactly this and its now on Android and iOS. This will a interesting one to try our if you fancy knowing what is beneath you and does not require you sitting at the window either..
Flyover Countryis a National Science Foundation funded offline mobile app for geoscience outreach and data discovery. The app exposes interactive geologic maps from Macrostrat.org, fossil localities from Neotomadb.org and Paleobiodb.org, core sample localities from LacCore.org, Wikipedia articles, offline base maps, and the user’s current GPS determined location, altitude, speed, and heading.
The app analyses a given flight path and caches relevant map data and points of interest (POI), and displays these data during the flight, without in flight wifi. By downloading only the data relevant to a particular flightpath, cache sizes remain reasonable, allowing for a robust experience without an internet connection.
How to use FC:
-Tap two or more points on the map to specify your path, then click ‘Load path’ in the top right corner to view the data associated with the path. Select ‘Save for offline’ to store the data and associated articles on your device for offline use. Access saved paths from the ‘Saved’ menu.
-Toggle ‘GPS’ to the on position in the side menu (accessed by pressing the menu button, top left). This will enable position tracking, speed, heading, and altitude information to be accessed from the map view.
-You may also select your ‘Trip mode’ from the side menu. the ‘plane’ provides a wide strip of data while ‘car/foot’ provides a narrower but more detailed geologic map with detailed unit descriptions and metadata.

With more and more cars now coming with sat-nav built in as standard can we see these kind of accessories die off soon? Nope not for a while yet,With most of us now sporting smartphones we have sat-nav built in and an array of choices of apps to use such as HERE,Google and TomTom mapping apps and we are more custom to those today than what may come pre-installed in a vehicle or again standalone sat-nav units. I tend to ignore the standalone because the ones we can freely download and use are more than enough to get what we want be it directions or just searching for a business or address..
Accessories are a plenty too,some good and some not so good and again there is some awkward or cumbersome offerings out there to hold our device in our vehicles,The one we have tested out is from our friends at Mobile Fun and its from Olixar and its a one piece unit and simple,nothing complicated at all here to use or install..

Priced now at €16.49 this is a good solid unit and comes with a two year warranty which is good for piece of mind too. Having tested this out it has been solid and works well especially if two people are in the car it can swivel simply should you need to do something on the device,with seconds to install and excellent suction it is very secure and even after going over some ramps and pot-holes ( We have lots of them in Ireland) it failed to budge. Overall I found it solid,stable and it failed to loose the devices tested on it no matter which way I had it stored be it Horizontally of Vertically.. Installing and removing the device is what impressed me too,there was nothing to it,Its simple,affordable and effective.
