It’s the last week before Labor Day in the US, which means it’s also the last week before Gadget Season begins again in earnest. Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Sony, Google, it seems like everybody’s got a product launch in the next six weeks. Today on the show we preview a bit of what’s to come, and dig into all the best stuff coming out of IFA this year. It’s the year of wireless charging, y’all!
Because I ... did not. Even now, I’m not 100 percent sure what it is. There’s a website called Bing Maps, okay, yes, but then the app really just wants to tell me about Microsoft Traffic. And now there’s a way to get Bing Maps info in the Microsoft Start app, which has a feature called Commute that is evidently powered by Bing Maps. Microsoft Start, of course, looks remarkably like the Bing app. Which has mapping stuff in it, but isn’t exactly a mapping app.
I don’t get it either. But you can download Microsoft Start with Commute now!
