Brooklyn bus riders get real-time bus tracking via cellphone

New York’s Metropolitan Transit Authority launched a pilot program a few months back that offered bus riders some real-time tracking information, but it’s now expanded things with a whole new program on the B63 route in Brooklyn. That service is currently accessible via a mobile-friendly website or text message, and smartphone users can also scan simply snap a picture of a barcode (presumably a QR code ) at a bus stop to immediately check in on the location of the next five buses that will arrive at the stop. What’s more, unlike the previous program, this new system is based on an open source platform developed with the help of OpenPlans, and the MTA is actually encouraging developers to dig into the API and develop their own solutions — which could certainly get interesting as the program is expanded across the city (the Staten Island bus line is next up). Head on past the break for the MTA’s press release, and hit up the link below to try out the service right in your browser.

Sony Reader app finally available for Android, only works with 2.2 and higher

Well, it’s about time! We knew Sony was prepping some Reader apps to go along with its physical Pocket , Daily , and Touch Edition e-readers, and while it may have missed that December release date , the Android version of the app is now available in the Market. The free app is pretty much what you’d expect — you can log in with your username and it automatically syncs previously purchased books, and like the e-readers, it also supports ePub and PDF formats. In addition, you can easily highlight text and adjust font and brightness settings right from the page you’re reading. We downloaded the app and found it to be pretty decent, however, the Store shortcut launches within the browser rather than in the app. Ready for the twisted part? Sony has confirmed for us that the app will only work with handsets that run Android 2.2 and higher, which is incredibly ironic considering most Sony Ericsson handsets are, you know, still stuck with 2.1 . Of course, it looks like that PlayStation Phone will work just fine when it’s finally released, but that’s neither here nor there — hit the gallery for a pile of screenshots of the app. Updated : Sony just let us know that the iOS version is still pending Apple’s approval, but it should be available soon.

SurfCube gives Windows Phone 7 the 3D browser it needed so desperately

If there’s one thing the 90s taught us, it’s that these silly 2D interfaces are only a passing fancy, and soon everything will be VRML-based mirror worlds of our physical space . SurfCube is a small, tentative step in that direction, turning the browser into a fake 3D experience of sorts, with favorites on “top,” and history and settings on the “sides,” while the front face of the cube is, naturally, the browser part. You can get around with swipes and flashy tilt gestures, and for $1.99 on the Windows Phone 7 Marketplace it’s hard to go wrong. Just remember our VRML warning, and start investing in MicroVideoGoggles Inc. stock with your carphone once you get home from the record store.

App Review: NetFront Life Browser for Android

This is no photoshop — it really is an Android browser that lets you tilt web pages, but there’s more than meets the eye. The folks at Access have just launched this free NetFront Life Browser, which packs a few interesting features that caught our attention. Let’s hold hands and walk through them together. Upon launching the app for the first time, we were taken to a “unified navigation” landing page that consists of two sections: the top half displays live thumbnails of opened windows, and swiping left or right gives you a smooth 3D transition between them; whereas the bottom half shows you stacks of pages

Opera Mobile 10.1 for Android hits public beta

As promised , the boys and girls at Opera have pushed out an Android-flavored beta version of their Opera Mobile 10.1 product today — and considering the company’s track record for making awesome replacement browsers, odds are good that you’re going to want to check it out. Besides pinch-to-zoom and support for location services, you’ll find fan favorites like desktop browser sync and Opera’s Speed Dial, a touchable grid of bookmarks. What’s more, the visual tab management is downright slick (then again, outdoing the tab management in-built to Android doesn’t take much), so you might want to take it for a test drive today — can we suggest engadget.com as a fine starting point? The app’s available from the Android Market right now; follow the break for the press release and an official demo of pinch-to-zoom in action. Or, you know, just download it and do some pinch-to-zooming of your own. Your call.

Skyfire for iPhone hands-on (video)

Although Skyfire for iPhone is almost exactly like its Android counterpart, it’s still not available for download in the App Store due to server issues , so we thought you might want to see how it works. We’ve seen improvements on the Flash-to-HTML5 conversion servers in the past day or so, which makes watching videos a breeze. The app itself serves as a fully functional browser with the usual features you’d hope to find: bookmarking, a dedicated search bar, custom homepage, and even private browsing. Pages render rather quickly, although scrolling and pinching to zoom is a little rough around the edges. As for actually watching Flash videos, it couldn’t be easier — once you’ve navigated to a page embedded with a video, a popup window will appear and you’re good to go. Sadly, though, the browser lacks the ability to scrub videos. But hey, if you’ve been waiting three-plus years to play flash videos on your 3.5-inch display, Skyfire might ( or might not ) be the solution to your burning desire. Be sure to check out the browser in action after the break!
