- Latest Chrome Beta for Android Turns Sites into Apps - Google
has released a
new beta version of its Chrome browser for the Android platform
that pushes the boundary between web sites and native applications.
Chrome now lets Android devices save oft-visited web sites as home
screen shortcuts. When opened, these new web shortcuts will immediately
load a fullscreen Chrome for Android window with no tabs, buttons,
menus, or the Omnibox. Such sites will appear as separate apps in the
app switcher. In order for this to work, however, sites need to add the
"mobile-web-app-capable" meta tag. Instructions on how to add this
feature to web sites are available from Google's Chromium developer
channel. This feature will be rolling out to beta users in Android,
Windows, and Chrome OS in the coming days. A Mac version will be
included in a future release. Google is also testing a new way to treat
open tabs when users are viewing the Omnibox site. Beta testers will be
able to see this new treatment in action.

- AT&T Agrees to Sell FiLIP, Phone-Watch-Locator for Kids - AT&T
today announced that it will offer the FiLIP wearable device for
children in the coming months. The FiLIP is a watch that includes a
cell phone and GPS locator. Parents can use their smartphone to call
the FiLIP and locate their kids easily on a map. The device stores up
to five phone numbers that can be called by children from the FiLIP.
The FiLIP can receive text messages from parents, but cannot return
messages. In addition to pinpointing location, parents can also set
Safe Zones in which their child is allowed to roam via geofencing. If
the child leaves the Safe Zone, the FiLIP will send an alert to the
parent. Last, the FiLIP includes an emergency function. If kids
press-and-hold the red button on the FiLIP, it will send a text message
with the child's location to the five numbers stored on the device;
automatically begin recording the ambient sound around the watch; call
each of the five numbers successively; and, if there's no answer at the
five stored numbers, call emergency services. AT&T didn't say
exactly when the FiLIP will be available, nor what it will cost.
