Traffic will be the death of all of us, at least that’s what most drivers think when they’re hopelessly gridlocked. Nobody likes being stuck in traffic, and thanks to modern technology, we now have a better chance of finding a less congested route home. Bringing its iOS app at par with the Android counterpart, Google Maps for iOS has received a new update today which will alert users when a faster route to their ultimate destination becomes available. This feature is only available in markets where navigation is supported.

Just last week Facebook announced its brand new Paper app which was basically a new way for Facebook users to view their News Feed. The app has since been made available for download but only to those using iPhones and are living in the US. Now if you’re wondering why you might have heard the name “Paper” before, it is because back in 2012, developers FiftyThree announced an app called Paper. The app is completely different from Facebook’s app in the sense that it is a drawing app and has nothing to do with social media (apart from the fact that you can share your drawings). (more…)

While BlackBerry might not necessarily be doing too well in the smartphone department, there is at least one area that they might have some hope in and it is BBM. The app which was previously an exclusive for the BlackBerry platform was launched on iOS and Android devices last year, giving BlackBerry and even larger reach, although admittedly the app would have to compete with the likes of other messaging apps out there.
While the app itself is free, BlackBerry has not been shy about thinking on how to monetize the app, but if they are hoping to do that, they will probably need to get as many users as possible, which is why BlackBerry has recently launched a new promotion in the US and Canada where they will be giving away movie tickets and gift cards to users who share the app. (more…)

As you might have heard, Facebook’s Paper app is now available for download starting today. The app was announced last week and it was basically a new way of viewing your Facebook News Feed. So far most of the early reviews of the app have been pretty positive and we’re sure by now many of you guys are eager to get your hands on it. Unfortunately that will not be happening anytime soon if you don’t live in the US and if you don’t have an iPhone. The app was initially launched for iPhone devices and we were wondering when it would be released for the iPad and Android devices.
However the folks at Facebook have recently confirmed to Pocket-Lint where they stated that a release for the iPad version, Android, and international users will not be happening anytime soon. This is because resources are limited at this time, in the sense that there are about fifteen people that are part of the Paper team at the moment. We’re guessing Facebook did not anticipate that there would be such a high demand for its Paper app as it was initially conceived as an experiment of sorts and was a testing ground for Facebook design. Either way here’s hoping that Paper will see a release on other platforms and international markets in the near future.
