The guys over at BGR have a source that states Verizon Wireless has plans to take over Time Square’s two largest digital billboards, the NASDAQ and Reuters signs. Verizon is planning on a “first-of-its-kind” interactive experience that will let people control the signs using only voice commands. The image above is a “sneak-peak”.

We’ve all known about the Windows Mobile DST update that’s been around since WM5, but apparently its still required, even for WM6.5 devices. It was updated August 2009 and is a cumulative rollup that includes all the changes released in earlier updates.

“Your phone stores the predefined DST dates in a table in its memory. Changes in DST causes the following problems for Windows phones in the affected time zones if the update is not applied:
*The phone will have outdated DST rules and will not honor the new DST transition time. The clock will read one hour off actual time during the new DST period.
*Calendar items will be displayed one hour off actual time during the new DST period.”

Download it from MS here.

It appears as though this update is only for specific countries, and the US and Canada aren’t listed. To see the list, go to the above link and scroll down to the table called “Changes in the Windows phone DST update”.

Google has announced a beta version of its new Google Maps Navigation program, that will provide voice-guided turn-by-turn directions on your Android 2.0 device.

“This new feature comes with everything you’d expect to find in a GPS navigation system, like 3D views, turn-by-turn voice guidance and automatic rerouting. But unlike most navigation systems, Google Maps Navigation was built from the ground up to take advantage of your phone’s Internet connection.”

Features include:
-Most recent maps (and business listings) by downloading them as you drive
-Search in “plain” English by using the simplicity of Google search
-Search by voice
-Traffic view by downloading live traffic information while you drive
-Search along route
-Satellite view
-Street view

The first phone it will be available on is the Droid from Verizon.

So, will it come to other platforms such as Windows Mobile? Or is this another way to pull people into Android?
