GV Mobile + Gets Google Voice VOIP Calling and a Brand New Interface

iOS: GV Mobile+ has always been one of the best ways to improve your Google Voice experience on the iPhone, and today they released a completely new version of the app, with an overhauled interface and the inclusion of VOIP calling so you don't have to use your minutes.

The app has been completely rebuilt from the ground up, and its new interface is clearly designed to fit in with the new aesthetic of iOS 7. Like the old version you can view your inbox, add favorite contacts, get push notifications (through a simpler setup than before), search your inbox, and more. But the inbox is now much easier to navigate with swipe gestures, and the dialer includes options for VOIP calling in addition to using your minutes. Overall it's a fantastic update to the best Google Voice client on iOS, so if you're a Google Voice user, it's a must have. Hit the link below to try it out, and check out the official blog post for more details.

SKY CACHE: Mobile Aerial Geocache

This is my completely autonomous Mobile Aerial Geocache, or MAG. I'll show you how to make one, and participate in this project yourself.

I wanted to create a new kind of interactive cache that would have the ability to travel through the sky, and be tracked in real time with a small GPS device.

My goal is to give the community the ability to track, find, and relaunch this cache to keep it ever wandering

What is Geocaching?

Geocaching is a free real-world outdoor treasure hunt. Players try to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, using a smartphone or GPS and can then share their experiences online. - http://www.geocaching.com/

I will be updating this Instructable in the near future as this project progresses, and invite all of you to follow along and participate. Please comment with your thoughts, ideas, and knowledge, and lets make this a collaboration!

Microsoft Unveils Microsoft Office Mobile for iPhone

iOS: Microsoft Office Mobile for Office 365 quietly landed the iTunes App Store this morning. It's Microsoft's first Office product for iOS, and while right now it's iPhone only, if you have an Office 365 subscription, it's worth a download if you want quick access to your SkyDrive and cloud-hosted Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files on the go or offline.

Office Mobile gives you access to all of your SkyDrive, SkyDrive Pro, or SharePoint-stored Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents. You can open them, view them, edit them, add comments to existing documents that have been shared with you, and even create new documents and get to work—-presumably on your iPhone, since the iPad version of the app isn't available yet (although you could always expand the iPhone version to 2x and work that way). Documents you've recently edited on your desktop float to the top, and you can search your account for others. The app even supports offline editing, so you can work if you're on a plane or without an internet connection.

You do have to have an active Office 365 subscription in order to use the app, but the app itself is free. Hit the link below to grab it, or head to The Microsoft Office Blog to read more.
