It used to be that having Google Earth running on your mobile device was a testament of its awesomeness. We’ve since gotten used to seeing this GPU intensive wonder installed on most devices, but having the world in the palm of your hands, is still pretty damn awesome! For some users rocking Tegra 2 devices however, Google Earth has been somewhat of a flat experience. Apparently there have been some problems between Google Earth and the NVIDIA Tegra 2 chips, causing the app to constantly crash on devices like the Motorola XOOM and Galaxy Tab 10.1. You’d imagine how dissapointing it would be, not have the ability to fly around the world on your Galaxy Tab, and thus, Google has finally released an update to fix these issues.
A couple of weeks ago, football fans received the good news: “The Super Bowl, Pro Bowl And NBC’s Wild-Card Playoff Games Will Be Streamed On Mobile Phones For The First Time.” I was excited to hear the big game would be streamed via the NFL Mobile app on Verizon, and quickly began gloating about how I’d have “the game cued up on my brilliant Samsung Galaxy Nexus.” In a bit of irony, my premature excitement was soon squashed by none other than Verizon. Apparently the Galaxy Nexus was not a supported device of the NFL Mobile app, and I was left only to hope Verizon would fix this before Super Bowl Sunday.

HTC has made good on its promise to bring Honeycomb to its HTC Flyer Android tablet. HTC had to include support for its Scribe technology and custom UI and that’s why it took them a tad longer to get it out to customers. The Honeycomb update is rolling out now and will bring the HTC Flyer from Gingerbread to Android 3.2. There’s been different reports going around that the update is rolling out to WiFi only models, but we’ve also heard that the 3G versions is seeing the update, so we’re not exactly sure who’s getting it at this point.
The ASUS Transformer Prime has been somewhat of a roller coaster ride for consumers. This hot ticket item has been available and unavailable ever since its pre-order announcement. Some people have had their orders canceled while others have been lucky enough to have one delivered. Then, after everything is said and done and you actually receive one, it’s possible you might end up having GPS issues. According to numerous users, the ASUS Transformer Prime has one heck of a time locking onto a GPS signal, especially when offline. While ASUS hasn’t publicly stated a cause, they have released a couple of updates which we assume were attempts to fix the problem.
