Around the web: A world gone mobile

Service. Google introduces new shortcuts to commonly searched local categories, like restaurants, coffee shops and bars, in the form of icons on the mobile google homepage. Fire-up your mobile web browser and point it at Google :)

Tablets. "The outstanding Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Honeycomb tablet is lighter and a hair thinner than the Apple iPad 2, and has a smaller footprint than either the Motorola Xoom or the Acer Iconia Tab A500..." Read about it at Tech Radar.

Mobile phones. The Milestone in qHD and dual core. "The Motorola Milestone 3 is still unofficial but its first full review just went online." Read about it at GSM Arena.

Operating systems. Nokia to launch a “market disrupting device.” Meego! Read about it at Phone Arena.

Those are some of the interesting thing on my Twitter feed today.

Apps. My wife says to try Blast Monkeys, free on the Android Market. A review on the Market says "Addicting... nice change up during the frustrating time of angry birds :)"

Just what we needed. Instead of launching birds from a sling shot, launch monkeys from a canon.
