Google has updated it’s Google Earth iPhone app. The updates come about a year after the original Google Earth iPhone App was released. Google Earth 2.0 will play nice with the iPhone and iPod Touch, and the new version has a bunch of new features, like the ability to view maps that you create on your PC on your iPhone or iPod Touch.

That one should prove most convenient. Another feature is the updated icon selection, which makes it easier to use. When you touch an icon on the app it will glow, and if you touch more than one icon at once it will take you to a list of icons so you can select the right one.

Amazon has just expanded the audience for its ebook format with the Beta release of its free Kindle for PC application. That’s a good thing too, considering all of the competition they now have. The app will allow you to read the Kindle format on your Windows PC.

A version for Mac users is “coming soon”. How many of you will use this? Or will you just opt for a different ebook format? If Amazon would do away with the proprietary stuff and use a common standard they would widen their audience even more and we wouldn’t have to sync across a few devices.

The holiday season is here and that means that most of us will end up at the crowded malls looking for gifts very soon. That also means that many of us will need to try to remember where exactly we parked our cars in that crowded mall parking lot.

Intridea has a new app for iPhone users that will at least eliminate problems trying to find your car called Car Finder. The app works on iPhones running the 3.1 software and overlays data using the live camera view of the iPhone.

Samsung’s 360 H1 is now available from Vodafone UK. One of the more interesting features is that it will be getting a Pizza Hut application very soon, allowing you to order pizza directly from the phone. Just like with your iPhone.

The application will bill the order directly to your phone bill, so be careful. You don’t want to leave your phone lying around so your friends can order pizza. Orders up to £30 are accepted and you’ll get a 20% discount each time.

Virtual Wi-Fi was going to be a Windows 7 feature that would turn your PC into a Wi-Fi access-point so devices could share a connection without needing special software. It didn’t make it into the final cut on the OS, but this free app finishes the work that Microsoft abandoned.

Some of the code that Microsoft Research used to virtualize one Wi-Fi card as several adapters still made its way into Windows 7, allowing Connectify to complete the job.

Amazon is preparing to launch its Kindle application for Windows PCs. The app will let you download and read content that was previously available for the Kindle. There’s also an iPhone app already available. You don’t need a Kindle to use the Kindle app for Windows, but you will need to create an account.

The thinking is that Windows 7’s new touch features might make it a good reading platform, plus it gets the content into more hands. Don’t worry Mac users, yours is coming soon. Maybe on a Mac Tablet.

Car keys are so last century. They’re only good for scratching other people’s cars out of revenge or scratching instant lottery tickets. We have the iPhone, who needs keys? More cars are starting with just the push of a button these days anyway. More will follow. Viper is creating a keyless future with their new iPhone app that unlocks and starts your car for you.

The app is free and connects to a Viper SmartStart hardware module inside of your car, letting you start your car, get the heat going, unlock doors or turn the alarm on or off. Also, you don’t need to be physically near your car to do those things since it works using cell networks.

I used to have a job years ago where I actually left the house and had to talk to people. I even collected a fair share of business cards, which I tended to throw away because I was too lazy to put the data into a database of any sort. If you need to collect business cards for your work, but are sick of manual entry of the data, Dymo has a new app for Windows Mobile devices for you.

The app is called Dymo CardScan Mobile and works with Windows Mobile 6+ devices that have cameras with at least 2-megapixels. All you need to do to get the information from the business card into your phone is take a picture of the card with your phones camera.

You may remember Pizza Hut’s iPhone app. A farewell to human interaction isn’t the only reason to use it anymore. Now they are giving you 20% off if you use it.

The app does the usual gimmicky stuff like pinching a pizza to make it smaller or larger and shaking the phone to make wings spicy as well as store all your coupons. This 20% off deal allows you get fatter and lonelier that much quicker. So hurray, I guess.

If you keep track of lots of receipts for your job or for the IRS at the end of the year, it can be hard to keep up with them all and get them organized into reports. A new app from Mitek for the iPhone makes keeping up with receipts and turning the receipts into usable reports an easy task.

The app is called Mobile Receipt for iPhone and is currently the top paid financial app on the App Store. The app allows the user to snap a picture of a receipt with their iPhone camera. The app automatically crops, rotates, and adds the receipt to a report.

Tomorrow the folks at MediaMall will officially announce the beta release of PlayOn for Wii. The software license costs $39.99 and there’s also a 14-day free trial so you can try it out first and decide if you like watching Hell’s Kitchen and the like on your Wii.

Me, I’d rather play some Mario Kart. PlayOn for Wii works in the same way as it does for the other game systems and streams Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, and a few other online video portals from your Windows XP or Vista computer to the Wii plugged into your TV.

I make my share of calls, send texts, and surf the Internet on my iPhone, but mostly I use the thing for playing games. I play way more games on my iPhone than I ever thought I would. With the iPhone being such a great gaming platform, I am always on the lookout for new games to try out. Today I am going to look at a game called Deer Hunter 3D. This game is one of my arcade favorites so read on for all the details on the Deer Hunter 3D for the iPhone.

In all likelihood you have upgraded to to a new iPhone everytime they come out. If that sounds like you, you probably have a couple of old models lying around. Why not start a server farm? Sound good?

Created by Japan’s FreeBit, the prototype above is to promote the ServersMan app, which gives iPhone users the ability to use their phone as network storage, file viewer or even a mini web server. Why not? They’re just laying around.

You have an iPhone and a hankering for some sweet Pizza Hut Pizza. What do you do? Well first you need to get Pizza Hut’s just unveiled new iPhone App. What other app will let you order food AND play a racing game? Suck on that Dominoes.

The app is as gimmicky as you might expect. Don’t believe me? When you order wings, you don’t just order wings. You need to shake your phone to get the wings covered in sauce. I guess that way, you only have yourself to blame if they taste like crap.

We are all consumers. There’s no getting around it. We rely on massed produced products in every part of our lives. Some consumers want to know if the product they are buying is cruelty-free or not. There’s really no need to have an animal suffer in order to sell us a product, so many choose not to support such companies.

PETA has your back with an iPhone app to help you identify cruelty-free products. The app is called “Be Nice To Bunnies” and is available for $1.99 on iTunes. Check out a video below.
