Chevy Volt officially priced at $41,000, $350/month on a three-year lease
Posted in: electric car, electric vehicle, ElectricCar, ElectricVehicle, ev, Today's Chili
It may not exactly be a huge surprise at this point, but GM has finally revealed that the official base price for its Chevrolet Volt will be $41,000 (including a $720 destination charge). That price is before the $7,500 federal tax credit, however, which will bring your eventual end cost down to a slightly more reasonable $33,500. Those looking to get on the road for even less up-front can also opt for a three-year lease, which will run you $350 a month after a $2,500 down payment. As Autoblog notes, you’ll also have an option to purchase the car at the end of the lease, so GM won’t be repeating its infamous EV1 scenario. Still too much for you? Then you might just want to wait a bit — GM says it will also be offering the Volt with less features and a lower price point “within a year or two.”

Lumigon announces unveiling party for first smartphone, invites everyone on Facebook
Posted in: Android, Google, Release Date, smartphone, Today's Chili
Yes, you’re invited too. Lumigon wowed us with some simple, sophisticated looking handset renders way back in February, the S1 and the T1, promising things like HDMI output and Android 2.1 — wild things back then. Just five months on and those features sound a little more pedestrian, so we’re wondering how it will stack up when the T1 is finally unveiled in the flesh in another three months, on October 20. It’ll be a wild night when the Scandinavian Lumigon crew lets loose its keyboard-free smartphone upon the denizens of Copenhagen. Will any Dane be safe?
[Thanks, Jakob]

Google Maps for Android updated to 4.4, adds dedicated ‘Places’ for searching nearby
Posted in: Android, app, cellphone, cellphones, Google, GoogleAndroid, maps, Today's Chili, update
Ready to suck down your sixth Google Maps for Android update in the past six months? Good. Version 4.4 has just been shoved out into the bright, hopeful world that we call home, with this one bringing about an easier way to find places around you. With the update will come an entirely new logo, as a dedicated ‘Places’ icon allows users to quickly look up nearby places in a Yelp-esque manner. If you tend to search for similar things regardless of where you are, you can load up your own personalized categories to make finding frequent searches that much easier (think “gas station” or “In N Out”). There’s also Place Pages, which now shows the operating hours of listed businesses, compass direction and distance from your location. It’s available now for all Android phones using v1.6 or newer, and if you’re rocking a BlackBerry, you can expect the Place Page to head your way soon.

Sharp’s Brain PW-AC10 e-dictionary attempts to fool you with its phoney looks
Posted in: Japan, Sharp, Today's Chili
We’ve seen Sharp e-dictionaries aplenty here, but with the exception of a couple of models, that same ol’ clamshell form factor’s bound to send you to snoozefest sooner or later. To keep the Japanese bookworms interested, Sharp’s latest offering — dubbed the Brain PW-AC10 — has packaged itself in a BlackBerry-esque candybar, which it claims makes it the industry’s lightest e-dictionary while carrying two AAA batteries that keep it going for 110 hours. You’ll obviously have to make do with a shrunken color LCD (2.4-inch QVGA) and keyboard, but the device still packs the usual English-Japanese translator, flashcard feature, and a seven-language traveling phrase book (with color images). ¥13,000 ($149) and it’s yours early next month.
