Google Maps' 'Follow' button gives you updates from real places
Google has launched a number of new features for Maps over the last few months. Now, it's rolling out a "Follow" function for locations, which will give you updates on events and offers from your favorite stores and restaurants.

Syndiant and Foryou break the low-res mold with 1,024 x 600 pico projector
We've already seen a pico projector here at CES that packs 1GB of internal storage, but Syndiant and Foryou have now finally announced a new device that has an upgrade where it really counts: resolution. Unfortunately, it's still just a prototype, and there's no word about pricing or availability, but the projector does use Syndiant's 1,024 x 600 resolution SYL2061 panel (pictured at right), and it still fits in a shirt pocket. Nothing else much in the way of details just yet, but this one's definitely the pico projector to beat when it comes to pumping out pixels.
Sansui and Foryou intro two more boring old PMPs
If there's one thing you can count on in the wild world of gadgetry, it's that the Chinese PMP-mill will keep churning 'em out as long as you keep buying 'em. This week is no different of course, and we've got two new offerings to bring your way. First off is the Foryou PMP710, a gigantic and somewhat nasty looking 7-inch, touchscreen number with all the usual format capabilities (MPEG1, 2 and 3, MP3, WAV, AAC, etc.), although the player also rocks USB 2.0, NTSC/PAL outputs, and a 20GB or 40GB hard drive -- for all your storage needs. On the prettier (and smaller) side of things, Sansui has launched the 614E, a metal-encased, 8mm thick PMP that does AVI, DivX, MP3, WMA, WAV and JPEG playback, has a 2.8-inch QVGA screen, and uses an SD slot for up to 2GB of sweet, sweet storage. No word on availability or pricing for the two models.Read -- It's Foryou: China PMP has 7-inch Screen, HDDRead -- SANSUI-614E PMP is 8MM Thick and Plays Harry Potter
