Google Maps for Android takes navigation indoors for France, helps find your way through Carrefour
Interior navigation with Google Maps for Android has usually been the province of only a handful of regions at best. But what about Provence? While the deal isn't all-encompassing, Google is now serving indoor maps for popular locations throughout France. Coverage starts with the major airports in Paris and Lyon, extending to include major nationwide stores like Carrefour and FNAC, shopping centers like the Carrousel du Louvre and museums like La Géode. All told, over 50 venues have signed onboard and should be enough for those moments when you're rushing to catch a connecting flight at Orly... or just want to find the salad dressings in aisle three.
Dell announces first retail deal in Europe
Dell just lobbed its initial retail sortie into Europe. Starting January, 365 Carrefour Group stores in France, Belgium, and Spain will now carry Dell laptops and desktops. That brings Dell's retail presence to nearly 10,000 brick and mortar locations worldwide including Staples (US), Wal-Mart (US, Canada, Brazil, and Mexico), Bic Camera (Japan), Gome (China), Courts (Singapore), and Carphone Warehouse in the UK. No, the UK is not part of Europe -- it's an island (cluster)![Via Notebook Italia]
