Next Generation Navigation System

This is thinking out of the box. blaupunkt overlays directions on a real time video feed as you are driving. The idea feels awesome at first, but as I thought through it, it seemed more gimmicky than useful. It captures speed limits from the street signs and possibly could be used to capture a lot of other information. Unless the aim is to allow a blind person to drive a car, I do not see the utility in capturing information that the driver can and must see and use. Capturing speed information is useless as the driver can easily see the signs and choose to follow or ignore them.
The technology probably can be useful in other applications. Time will tell.

Happy Days for my BlackBerry 8820

The latest Gmail client (2.0.5) is much faster, responsive and seems to consume less resources. It also seems have added led notification for new email. I am not sure I like that as much, because I only want to be alerted on work email. Gmail notification is just additional noise.
Yahoo Go! has been updated. Now I can use menus to navigate the applicaton.
