Faster Forward: Xbox Kinect offers hands-free gaming in large living rooms

Microsoft's Xbox 360 video-game console got a little easier to use at 12:01 this morning. That's when the Redmond, Wash., firm began selling Kinect -- a clever accessory that takes the Xbox's controller out of the hands of gamers.

Google Maps Street View will be available via Mobile Safari in two weeks

According to many of our readers, if Apple's iOS 6 Maps software isn't suitably filling in for the old Google-powered Maps then the quickest workaround is simply using Google Maps as a web app. While we'll likely be waiting some time to find out if a standalone replacement from Google really is in the cards, The New York Times' David Pogue mentions -- while bemoaning some navigation related mishaps in the new app -- Street View imagery will be accessible that way "in two weeks." Hopefully users will find that makes the wait easier, but at least they're not making you carry around one of those backpacks to make it all work.

Apple vs. Samsung Court Message: Create, Don't Emulate - Apple - News & Reviews - eWeek.com

NEWS ANALYSIS: Apple, even though the richest company in the world, had to sue Samsung. Samsung and Android have a huge advantage in smartphones (68 percent of the world market to only 17 percent for iPhone). Therein lies Apple's main motivation for this case: Android is kicking iPhone's rear all over the world.

RIM: BlackBerry 10 carrier testing starts in October, OS remains on schedule

Worried that RIM might face any further delays of BlackBerry 10? Don't be. CEO Thorsten Heins just confirmed at his BlackBerry Jam presentation that carrier testing for the new OS should begin this October, and that the platform launch is still slated for early 2013, as we were told this spring. As he's mentioned in the past, Heins believes carriers are "excited" about the BlackBerry update, implying that this is what's driving the certification process months in advance. Whether or not optimism is alive and well among providers, the news could be a relief for carriers and BlackBerry developers alike, either of which is likely keen to minimize the shift towards an Android-and-iPhone duopoly in the smartphone space.
