    EA Mobile Releases Kung Fu Panda Game In Time For Movie Release on the go | (0)
    I'll admit it. I'm a grown man that still watches cartoons. I'm also intensely curious about the release of a cartoon movie about a bear trained in the ancient art of Kung Fu. And not just any bear, a Panda bear... naturally. The Kung Fu Panda movie will be released Fridays, and though I may not be elbowing through the lines of kids to get into the premier, I'll definitely check it out. This morning EA Mobile also announced the release of the Kung Fu Panda mobile game to play on your cell phone. It's based on the characters and storyline ...

    TellMe is a Location-Based Service that allows you to search for local business and services using only your voice. You can use it to find a business and get directions using the GPS embedded in your phone. Other services include the ability to find and buy tickets using Fandango, get traffic updates or weather information. TellMe was only available on a select number of Java-based phones with GPS chips and they just released a version for the Blackberry.

    AOL Launches Mobile Gaming with Cellufun work | (0)
    This week AOL launched a mobile web gaming portal in conjunction with Cellufun. These are WAP-based mobile games for the http://wap.aol.com/games targeting the casual gamer. Games include Call of the Pharaoh, Space Wars, Ice Fishing, and many popular card and board games. This is one of the first instances I've seen of ad-supported games on the mobile phone. I think it will get even more interesting as mobile web browsers become provide better AJAX and Flash support, but this is an excellent start.

    7 Twitter Clients for Mobile Phones on the go | (5)
    It's hard to find a way to follow all of your Twitter updates without being interrupted by a constant barrage of noise. While it's easy to update your twitter status via SMS, keeping track of your friends on the go would require near-constant text messages. You can subscribe to @ replies, but sometimes you just want to scan through the latest and greatest from the Twitterverse on your phone. I'm hoping for an integrated IM and Twitter application like what Digsby is for the desktop, which seems to be Yahoo OneConnect's goal. Until then, check out these mobile Twitter tools: ...

    Dial2Do offers to perform many common online tasks by calling their number and telling them what you're looking to do. They're beginning their free private Beta testing with 7 available commands that help to bridge the gap between our phones and PC's. I use Voice Command pretty regularly on Windows Mobile to dial in the car and Callwave to text me my voicemail. I've been hoping that someone would make it easier to send email using my voice, but Dial2Do has gone even further. A list of their available commands and my initial thoughts after the jump.

    Navizon Enables Fire Eagle Location Updates reviews | (7)
    After hearing a rumor that Navizon has created an uplink for the Yahoo Fire Eagle platform, I just had to check it out. I've poked around and confirmed that Mexens, the company behind Navizon, has in fact created a method for you to pass your location to Fire Eagle. Navizon is the cell phone application that I use to update the Stalking Dave Map and my Google Gadget. You can use Navizon on your Windows Mobile Pocket PC, iPhone, Symbian or Java phone to track your location based on cell triangulation, Wifi, or GPS. All you have to do is ...
