Microsoft has released another update to Outlook for Android today, bringing improved navigation and several bug fixes to the app.  The update, version 1.2.5 for those keeping score at home, is available now and is highly recommended for those who are using the email app.  While the improve navigation elements actually were release last week in version 1.2, they have been smoothed out a good bit in this update.  You shouldn’t see the hesitation many users were experiencing when moving between accounts or from mail to calendar or people for example.

Google has released an update to Google Maps that will be a welcome update for those who use Gmail.  The update will have a varying version number based on your device but on my BLU VIVO IV phone running KitKat 4.4, I’m on version 9.8.1 for those keeping score at home.  The biggest update is much improved Gmail integration where you can easily find your next reservation.

Over the weekend I added 15 new wallpapers to the wallpaper page here on the site.  These are a collection of some I have found as I scurry about the Web that I like and I hope you do to.  This morning I’ve added even more to the page by uploading 54 new ones.  That brings the total up to 119 on the page ranging from mountains to city streets and even a leopard or two.  I make no claim to authorship on most of these.  In fact there are about 15 of the 119 that I’ve actually created.  I’ve tried to give credit where due but in some cases that’s not possible.

OpenTable has updated their app for Android today, bringing significantly improved integration with Google Maps.  The update to OpenTable for Android, version 4.4.2.1170 for those keeping score at home, is available now in the Google Play store.  It is designed for both Android phones and tablets. For those not familar with OpenTable, it is a service-meets-app that allows you to find restaurants near you and make bookings at them for that day or in the future.  Each time you dine you get points which can be redeemed for discounts at any restaurant who is in the OpenTable program.  I have used the app for years and it is a great way to find a place to eat if you are not familiar with the city you happen to be visiting or even at home to get a table at that popular restaurant.
