Offline Google Maps Now Available For Android

A new updated Google Maps app for Android has just been released on Google Play that brings support for downloading and saving of maps for online use. Previously, it was not possible to use Google Maps without an Internet connection. Those who wanted their maps to be available offline had to download them using a computer and transfer the downloaded maps to their Android device. These maps can then be opened in alternative mapping apps like MapDroid and RMaps.
With the new Google Maps app, this isn’t necessary. Simply open the app and find the area that you wish to download. Then click the Menu/Options button on your phone and from the menu select “Make available offline”.
 
A rectangular square will appear over the map marking the area that will be downloaded. Below the map, you’ll see an estimate of the size of the download so you know how much space it will take on your device. Resize the map so that everything you want fits within the square and click the “Done” button.
Once the download is completed, you can access your offline maps from under the “My Places” section in Google Maps. If you have GPS enabled on the device, the blue dot will still work without a data connection so you know where you are, and if your device has a compass you can orient yourself without 3G or WiFi connectivity.

Unlocking Xbox Achievements may soon get you free MSP

If you are what's commonly referred to as an "Achievements Whore", you may soon have a real incentive to rake in those Xbox Gamerscore points besides feeling good about yourself on Xbox forums.

Microsoft has teased that it will soon be offering new 'rewards' based on the unlocking of Achievements in Xbox 360 games.
The announcement came from the official Twitter feed of the Xbox Live Rewards website, which teased, "Coming Fall: a new way to earn Rewards based on your Achievements!"

Further prying for details was dismissed by the MS rep, but those familiar with the Xbox Live Rewards site will know that it's a loyalty program that offers free Microsoft Points as rewards for completing specific and varying tasks.

That considered, we expect some Achievement-related MS Point rewards coming this Autumn.

'Xbox 720' doc spills details on Kinect 2, 2013 launch, AR glasses

A lengthy business document purportedly sourced back to Microsoft showed up on Scribd yesterday. In it, alleged details about an "Xbox 720." For starters, the 56-page document claims the next-generation Xbox will launch in 2013 for $299, alongside the "Kinect V2." The doc also claims it'll come packed with Blu-ray functionality and be able to play game that are "4x - 6x" better looking than Xbox 360. If only it could promise the game themselves would be 4x - 6x better!

Beyond the stuff you'd expect, the document also claims Microsoft has Augmented Reality glasses in the works named "Fortaleza" (presumably built at Brazil-based Innovation Center Fortaleza) – the document says we won't see through MS' AR until some time in 2014, post-console launch. Additionally, it claims the "Xbox 720" will have some form of "always on" functionality, as well as the ability to run apps at the same time (read: multitasking).

Now before you go getting all excited, you should probably know that this document surfaced in some form back in early May on Nukezilla. Moreover, even if it's totally legit, the document itself appears to be rather old – dating back to August 2010 at least. That said, some of the info detailed in the document has since been announced by Microsoft (most notably Smart Glass). We've seen some pretty thorough fakes in our time, but this would be the most thorough if it were.

We've reached out to Microsoft for comment, but, well, you know.

Update: The document was removed from Scribd due to copyright infringement, at the request of a law firm named Covington and Burling. The firm worked with Microsoft as recently as this past April, when it advised Microsoft in its patent settlement case with Facebook. Microsoft still hasn't responded to request for comment.

**Update** Free 1 Month Xbox Gold and 2 Free Xbox Arcade Games

Last week I posted how to get a couple of free items from Raptr & Xbox HERE


Just a quick update  regarding this offer. I finally got to a point where xbox wont let me redeem the offer.
Made my 10th account and it wont let me add a credit card to it and when I add my paypal account it says I can not use my paypal account for this offer.
At least I got 9 other accounts to work. (18 free games)
So it was either the paypal account or my I.P. address that gave me away.

You can trade these on Goozex for free game credit. I have anothe method as well that I have been using to turn these games into Amazon credit which I have been getting $5-$6 each. if you are interested in this method shoot me an email. I dont want this method saturated so I will share with the first 3 that respond.

FYI, the last 3 accounts I used the free game Tinker from Games for Windows for the PC, this way I didnt have to log into my xbox, i was just able to do it all from my PC and then link my gamertag to raptr.

AppRedeem & App Trailers Update

Just wanted to post a quick update. After my last post AppRedeem took out the Paypal and Amazon options. I just noticed last night they were back! I had 3200 point sin my account so I cashed out for $4 amazon.com credit. I guess there is a new limit in place because it instantly gave me my first 2 codes, but my third and fourth said I had reached my daily limitand the codes would be emailed to me. The next morning the codes were wating for me in my inbox.
If you havent signed up for AppRedeem yet I suggest downloading AppTrailers first since the code "sdcblog" will get you 250-1000 credits which you can cash out for an immediate $1 amazon credit. If you use the code in the AppRedeem app first you will get 50-250 credits.

App Trailers Instructions:
You get points for watching videos. Videos are 10-25 points each
1. Download the App HERE (for iTunes) or HERE (for Android )
 2. Register your device and confirm the email
3. Watch the video
4. Your credit will be deposited, you can redeem for giftcards
amazon.com credit is a min of 1000 ($1.00) 
5. Use code "sdcblog" and get an extra 250-1000 credits

App Redeem Instructions:

You get points for Downloading free apps. Apps pay 1000-100 each
1. First from your iPod/iPhone/iPad/Andriod Phone/Tablet go HERE (for iTunes) or HERE (for Andriod)
2. Register your device and confirm the email
3. Select the free app from app redeem and it will direct you to itunes or the android market place and download the app and install
4. open the app and give it a try
5. go back to app redeem and it will ask you to rate the app on a 1-5 star rating
6. You credit will be deposited, you can redeem for amazon credit (min Amazon is $1.00 for 1000 credits)
7. Use code "sdcblog" and get an extra 50-250 credits

**Tips**

Check the AppTrailers daily, in the redeem section there is a free daily lotto scratcher that you can use for daily bonus points.

If you use AppTrailers and you watch a trailer and it credits you, do not repeat the same video again. I suspect this might be why a couple of my accounts have been banned.

If you have been banned in the past and you got a new account, do not link the same paypal account to the new account. It will get banned as well.

If AppRedeem tells you "you do not have enough credit" when trying to redeem an item and you for sure do, go to AppTrailers and cash out instead.

Xbox Smart Glass Is Not a Rumor! :)

Microsoft's E3 press conference unveiling a piece of technology that could bring new competition to the way that smartphones and tablets interact with game consoles.
Mark Whitten, president of Microsoft's Xbox Live, demonstrated how his portable devices can update movies, television shows, music and even games in real time with the action on the screen.
"This is a breakthrough in entertainment that makes all of your devices worth together intelligently," Whitten said. "Movies are immersive, TV is more engaging, music is more interactive and games are more thrilling."
For instance, movies and shows can be watched on a portable device and transferred the exact stop point to an Xbox 360 and resume viewing on a home television as Whitten demonstrated with 'Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows.' They can also offer additional information on a tablet or smartphone once the transfer is made.
Smaller viewing devices can also provide real time information on shows such as "Game of Thrones" to help the viewer keep on top of locations and plot points without interrupting an episode. Whitten's demonstration
As for games, SmartGlass is also in development with certain studios who are envisioning how they can harness this new interface. Whitten provided demonstrations of how SmartGlass can let armchair quarterbacks pick play from a tablet for a new Madden game or provide a new interface with the new Halo game.
Whitten's press conference also announced that Xbox 360 users would get Internet Explorer by the end of this year and can use smartphones and tablets to move through the web on their TV the same way they would on those devices.
Microsoft will launch SmartGlass later this fall.

Xbox Smart Glass?

Microsoft will likely be showing off a few new non-gaming features for its Xbox 360 console during its pre-E3 2012 press conference on Monday. However, a new article at the Examiner.com website claims that Microsoft will also be showing off something else at E3 to a select few people that promises to be very interesting, if this story is indeed true. The site claims that Microsoft will show a presentation for a new software application called Xbox Smart Glass. The app is supposed to work with not just Windows and Windows Phone but also for iOS and Android devices. The app will allow users to control their Xbox 360 console remotely. Xbox 360 media applications, including Netflix, YouTube and more, are supposed to be accessible with Xbox Smart Glass. The app is also supposed to push content from a tablet to a TV, laptop or other devices. Microsoft has not yet confirmed this story and if this report is correct, the company may not even admit publicly at E3 it is working on such an app. However, a Microsoft job listing from a few months ago strongly hinted that the company was working on a way to bring Xbox Live to iOS and Android devices.
