so in this case phones count as gadgets, but computers do not? you focused on mobile use, but it's not like there is some aspect of google buzz that can be accessed by any means other than a gadget (mobile or not). or has engadget cut out posts about personal computers when i wasn't looking? i know i only need to make this point in so many ways, but here's one more: you guys had plenty of windows 7 coverage, and as far as i know that can't be used on a phone (yet) ...

sorry for the rant, but just yesterday i was thinking how surprising it was that google didn't have a more significant social networking product, and i would think i could count on engadget to let me know when they launch one, mobile aware or not ...]]>Feb 9th 2010 2:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/google-buzz-takes-mobile-location-services-to-the-next-level/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/google-buzz-takes-mobile-location-services-to-the-next-level/Feb 9th 2010 2:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/google-buzz-takes-mobile-location-services-to-the-next-level/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/google-buzz-takes-mobile-location-services-to-the-next-level/Feb 9th 2010 2:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/google-buzz-takes-mobile-location-services-to-the-next-level/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/google-buzz-takes-mobile-location-services-to-the-next-level/Feb 9th 2010 2:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/google-buzz-takes-mobile-location-services-to-the-next-level/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/google-buzz-takes-mobile-location-services-to-the-next-level/Feb 9th 2010 3:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/google-buzz-takes-mobile-location-services-to-the-next-level/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/google-buzz-takes-mobile-location-services-to-the-next-level/

Sadly I will never be able to use this on my Droid because Google doesn't know how to make any of these work with a Google Apps Account. Even though I have both my personal and work Google accounts added to my Droid it wont let me use any features like 'My Maps'...]]>Feb 9th 2010 4:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/google-buzz-takes-mobile-location-services-to-the-next-level/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/google-buzz-takes-mobile-location-services-to-the-next-level/
Dramatic examples aside then, how about Google Wave, which has been covered extensively here. I think my point was clear that your gadget-focused explanation depends on a definition of "gadget" that isn't consistent with its use on your site as a whole. You cover phones but also dote on i7 MacBook Pros, so I don't see how software on a phone is more relevant to your site than software on a personal computer. Of course you have to decide what's important enough to post and what isn't, but the intial explanation you gave was no good.]]>Feb 9th 2010 4:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/google-buzz-takes-mobile-location-services-to-the-next-level/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/google-buzz-takes-mobile-location-services-to-the-next-level/]]>Feb 9th 2010 4:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/google-buzz-takes-mobile-location-services-to-the-next-level/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/google-buzz-takes-mobile-location-services-to-the-next-level/
Engadget also doesn't cover every iPhone/WinMo/Android app ever made. Sure, they relate to gadgets, so sometimes they announce the tiny few that could really make a difference. But coverage of all that should be left for the sites that focus on those specifically.]]>Feb 9th 2010 5:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/google-buzz-takes-mobile-location-services-to-the-next-level/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/google-buzz-takes-mobile-location-services-to-the-next-level/
I think that would be good information to have in a feedback section.

@engadget

Do you guys have a feedback section so that comments can be kept more relevant to information you posted?]]>Feb 9th 2010 6:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/google-buzz-takes-mobile-location-services-to-the-next-level/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/google-buzz-takes-mobile-location-services-to-the-next-level/

The answer to your question is a mystery that I just investigated.

This post from Mr. Kanduri is NOT included as one of the 16 reviews of the theater that I found by finding that exact same theater on Google Maps. (It's in Mountain View, CA)

Another review, however, stated how conveniently located the theater was to his house - just 5 minutes away. That has to be it.

Overall, if it matters, people hate this old theater with small seats and terrible sound.

As the article stated, "buzz.google.com" for the iPhone and Android. Just go there and save it as a web app. No real need for it to be an actual app on the iPhone.]]>Feb 9th 2010 2:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/google-buzz-takes-mobile-location-services-to-the-next-level/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/google-buzz-takes-mobile-location-services-to-the-next-level/Feb 9th 2010 2:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/google-buzz-takes-mobile-location-services-to-the-next-level/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/google-buzz-takes-mobile-location-services-to-the-next-level/Feb 9th 2010 3:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/google-buzz-takes-mobile-location-services-to-the-next-level/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/google-buzz-takes-mobile-location-services-to-the-next-level/
New version of Google Maps is available now with integrated Buzz support.
