Now Google is taking advantages of what developers have created by launching a new service for My Maps called “mapplets.” The service encourages developers to create “mapplets” that users can add to their Google Maps profile to find local results easily.

Cingular’s 3G network allows me to do much more with my mobile handset, such as take advantage of services like JuiceCaster and MyWaves. Mobio Networks now joins that group with its GetMobio product. GetMobio is a free service you can download to your cell phone that loads you up with 50 dynamic applications and widgets that work together and are based on mash-ups of Web services. And as new applications become available, they’re delivered automatically to your handset. The services are divided into 10 collections depending on what you’d like to do—everything from getting a dinner reservation and movie tickets to finding alternative flights for your next trip.

Phone support is pretty limited right now with mostly handsets from Sprint and a few from Cingular, but at least they are popular ones. The full suite of apps won’t be available until sometime in February 2007. However, if you want to check out how they’ll work on your phone, there’s a download available for finding movie times. → Read More
