Best App: Google Talk for iPad/iPhone?
location: macrumors.com - date: October 27, 2011
Background: My wife and I used to be on Android phones. We used Google Talk to text with family members who didn't have text plans but had Android phones. We have now switched to iPhones and iPads, but still want to be able to interact with the family members with Android phones. What is the best app for doing so? We installed Chat for Google Talk by ilegendsoft and it works really well, but it doesn't cause a notification to pop up on Android phones, so while we get the messages they send, they wouldn't necessarily know they got ours (unless they just happen to check). So what is the best alternative? I don't really care if it is a free or paid app as long as it works!

Google Maps App Tip: How to Use Voice Search To Activate Google Maps Without Siri or Jail Break
location: imore.com - date: December 28, 2012
One of the most popular iOS related topics I see on Twitter this past month is "How to use Siri and Google Maps together for directions," or "How to trick Siri into using Google Maps without jail breaking." But some folks may not know that there's a way to activate Google Maps for iOS via voice command that doesn't involve Siri or Apple Maps at all. To do it, you have to download Google's other free app, "Google Search," which IMO, is actually better than Siri (YMMV ). So the steps are: 1) Download the "Google Search" app in the App Store. 2) Open the app, hit the microphone icon and say "Navigate to _____" or "Locate _____." 3) Given Google's vast POI database, you should get the right result spoken back to you complete with a map snapshot. Touch the map or touch the arrow navigation icon to pull up directions. 4) This will open open up the web version of Google Maps mobile
