March 8, 2011— -- Google has come up with a new way to try to keep Android users away from traffic jams. The updated version of their Google Maps Navigation app automatically routes users away from gridlock using current and historic traffic conditions.

The app is available for free in the Android Marketplace.

Sports Illustrated's Paul Ulane says "MLB 11 The Show" is so realistic, you will almost think that you are watching an actual baseball game.

"If you are a baseball fan, you need to pick up this game," he said. "It has everything that you need. Amazing visuals, great game play, a new control system that puts you really within the game on every play whether you're fielding, pitching or hitting. And, of course, the Move add-on, the Home Run Derby. You get to hit home runs out of your living room. It's absolutely awesome."

The game hits store shelves today and is only available on the PlayStation 3.
