Today's Story Highlights

Cycloramic Pro Swims With the Sharks
How does an iOS panoramic photo shooting app first introduced in 2012
rocket to the top of the Paid App list in Apple's App Store? Answer: The
developer takes it to ABC's Shark Tank , where he demonstrates how his
iPhone can spin around, taking photos all by itself. He then shakes off
a $200,000 offer for 10 percent of his business and holds out for $500K
of venture investment.

Google's Long European Antitrust Nightmare May Be Over
It looks like Google and European regulators have, at long last, reached
a settlement to allay antitrust concerns. Google has struck a deal with
EC competition regulators, which now awaits formal approval. Under the
terms laid out, Google would have to swallow its stiffest-ever antitrust
penalties, but it would nonetheless avoid a finding of wrongdoing and a
potentially massive fine.

Google Maps for iOS Now Flags Faster Routes
A new version of Google Maps for the iPhone and iPad hit the App Store
Tuesday. Added to the app's repertoire is the ability to notify a driver
when a faster alternative route is available. When Google Maps'
navigation feature is running, traffic conditions will be monitored by
the app. When it determines that an alternative route can get you to
your destination faster, it will notify you.

Minuum Keyboard Takes the Tedium Out of Typing
The holy grail of Android apps has got to be the one that best
compensates for botched typing. The smaller the device I use, the more
my typing deteriorates. I'm reasonably quick and accurate on a desktop
PC; I slow down on a laptop; I get by on a tablet; and I am virtually
incapacitated on most smartphones, though my thick peasant fingers work
better on an iPhone than an Android.
