Samsung Moment update to Android 2.1 available at long last?
Sure, it’s been leaked already — but is Moment-gate 2010 finally about to draw to a close? Quite possibly, because folks running the firmware update executable found on Sprint’s site are apparently ending up with a phone powered by Android 2.1 when all is said and done. Considering the fact that the Moment runs stock Android, the update feels long overdue — but Eclair updates are still pretty hard to come by no matter what kind of phone you’re using, so we’re just delighted to see it finally happen. Moment owners: can you do us a solid and check this out (assuming you’re brave enough) and let us know how it goes in comments?

Bing turn-by-turn navigation for Windows Mobile gets taken for a test drive
Microsoft certainly added all the right features to its Bing navigation app for Windows Mobile, but does it actually deliver the goods in real world use? It does according to the folks at PocketNow, who have put the app through its paces and kindly provided a quick demo video of it running on an HTC HD2. While there’s nothing too shocking or surprising, it looks like the voice input works well, and the turn-by-turn directions seem to be at least up to par with your average navigation device — it even has a few nice touches like being able to tap on the screen to repeat the instructions. Head on past the break to check it out the video and, if you’re still unsure, you can always take the app for a spin yourself — it is free, after all.
