We’re hearing from multiple Android Community members that a new Facebook application has arrived in the Android Market. The app seems pretty spartan at present, but does allow access to walls, posting of statuses and commenting.

We heard few murmurs about Asus’ Eee Reader last month and now the things look more concrete. Times UK has got some meaty details of Asus’ iteration of the e-book reader that clearly matches the description of the dual screen concept shown at CeBIT this year. Asus’ Eee Reader will feature dual color screens with hinges that tries to mock a real book. However, unlike other e-book readers who can only do one thing, Eee Reader will be multi-faceted – like making one screen work as a virtual keypad while other can be used as a normal display, view webpages and will have speakers, webcam and mic to carry video conferencing.

Love ‘em or hate ‘em, Apple knows how to sell, and sell big. As we tune into the company’s fiscal 2009 third quarter conference call this afternoon, we’re told that it has just recorded its “best non-holiday quarter [in terms of] revenue and earnings” in company history. This, mind you, was recorded during what most say is the worst recession since the Great Depression. All told, Apple netted a quarterly profit of $1.23 billion, and international sales accounted for a staggering 44 percent of the quarter’s revenue.

The outfit continued to steamroll the competition in MP3 sales, moving 10.2 million iPod units in the quarter; of note, that was a seven percent decrease from last year, but given that fact that we’re getting ever-closer to a saturation point with these things, we aren’t too shocked to hear it.

There were shades of greatness in Navigon’s crippled free MobileNavigator trial, and high expectations for the full version. Now it’s here, and for the first couple weeks, priced at a reasonable (no, really) $70.

Even at the eventual full price of $100 it’s still a solid deal, since most big-name navigation apps charge a monthly fee, which seems to be settling across the App Store at about $10. That’s a lot of upkeep, which would surpass Navigon’s one-off charge well within a year, and keep going, well, forever. But $70 is still a lot, so before you take the plunge, here’s what you get: This is great news to all Geek Gadgets lover.
