Great new mobile apps for the iPhone, iPad and Android devices

Whether you got your first smartphone or tablet over the holidays or are an experienced user, there are plenty of great new mobile applications for iPhones, iPads and Android devices to tap into.

Here are five new or recently revamped apps you should consider downloading right away.

Shazam Player (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad: Free)

Among the titles that pioneered the iPhone app phenomenon nearly four years ago was Shazam. The free music discovery app identifies the song you are listening to in a bar or elevator (or humming into your phone!), and then publishes background information of that track along with an opportunity to add it to your library. Since those salad days of mobile apps, however, a band of notable music discovery competitors have crowded in on Shazam’s space. SoundHound can not only identify a song, but play scrolling lyrics in time with the music.SoundTracking lets users share what songs they are listening to with their friends and followers. Recognizing the need to add a few new members to its ensemble, Shazam this week launches the Shazam Player app which, shockingly, lets users share songs with their friends and read lyrics in real time. In addition to sharing and lyric scrolling, Shazam Player has a snappy interface that allows users to create custom playlists (separate from iTunes) on the fly. All iTunes library data is also imported within the app. Check out this video for an overview of all the new features. While Shazam Player is launching exclusively on Apple’s iOS devices, the company intends to develop versions of the app for Android and other mobile platforms. Rock out!

Path (iPhone, iPod Touch and Android: Free)

The next generation of social networking is playing out on mobile devices (rather than on our desktop and laptop computers). Available for iPhones and Android smartphones, Path is a beautifully designed digital journal that tracks where you go, who you are with and what music you are listening to. There is even a feature in the app that documents when you go to sleep and when you arise. Path, which was completely revamped last month, knows you so well that it will even send notifications if you meander outside of your normal routine. Yet while Path chronicles nearly everything you do, it sets limits on who you can share with by restricting accounts to 150 contacts. This encourages users to share their status only with family and very close friends. While Path only has a very small fraction of the number of users that are on Facebook and Twitter, it is growing quickly and is reportedly where “The A List” is hanging out. So if your friends and family are not on Path yet, you can introduce them to the next hot thing.

NBA Game Time 2011 - 2012 (iPhone, iPod Touch,Android: Free)

Just because the NBA season was abbreviated due to an owners’ lockout doesn’t mean the league’s official mobile app for iPhones and Android devices is anything short of a slam dunk. Free to download, NBA Game Time offers a robust selection of highlights and statistics designed to please both passive fans and hardcore hoopsters. You can watch video previews of your favorite teams and get alerts just as their games are about to tip off. Fantasy basketball players will love the in-depth box scores and leaderboards of the major statistical categories. If you subscribe to the NBA League Pass video package, you can even watch all games live right on your device. Expect the NBA to introduce new features within the app throughout the season and into the playoffs.

Wolfram Words Reference App (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad: $0.99)

Wordsmiths and casual fans of games like Scrabble and Words With Friends alike will enjoy digging into this next-generation dictionary. Created by Wolfram Alpha, which developed technology for the iPhone 4S that helps the Siri personal assistant answer questions, the Wolfram Words Reference app can help you uncover basically anything found within the English language. From pronunciation and general usage, to locating synonyms and antonyms, to finding the most difficult combinations to your favorite word games, Wolfram Words delivers. The app, which can also convert a sentence into Morse code or Braille, works very well with Wi-Fi, 3G and even 2G connections.

Jimmy Fallon’s Wake Up Call (iPhone, iPod Touch: $0.99)

If you’re not able to stay up late enough to watch Late Night with Jimmy Fallon these days, you can still be woken up by the popular comedian. Jimmy Fallon’s Wake Up Call comes equipped with 10 customized ringtones for the alarm and 17 different pre-recorded messages from Fallon. Those who do stay up late will enjoy the option of programming “snooze” periods for anywhere between five and 30 minutes. While there are hundreds of iPhone apps designed to get you out of bed in the morning, this one is certainly the most entertaining.

Does Chewing Gum Make You Smarter?

While chewing gum may not make you look more intelligent, it actually boosts brainpower, new research shows.

People have been chewing gum for about 9,000 years, with ancient Greeks, Mayans and Native Americans popping wads of tree sap or resin in their mouths to freshen their breath.

This enduring habit also sharpens our wits in several surprising ways. Here’s a look at the mental benefits:

Better Mental Performance

A 2011 study published in the journal Appetite tested the effects of chewing gum—either sugar-free or sugar-added—on 159 undergraduate students. Half chomped gum before or throughout taking a battery of difficult mental tests, such as reciting lists of random numbers backwards or solving logic puzzles, and the other half (the control group) didn’t.

Those who chewed gum five minutes before the tests significantly outperformed non-chewers on five out of six of the tests, researchers from St. Lawrence University found. However, the benefits only lasted for the first 15 to 20 minutes of the test and chewing during the tests was not helpful, probably because it distracted the students. The sugar content of the gum had no impact on the test performance.

Gum + Math = Higher Grades 

Teachers who ban gum in class may want to rethink their rules after checking out the intriguing results of a study at Baylor College of Medicine, involving 8th graders at a charter school.

The researchers found that students who chewed gum during math tests—and while doing their math homework—had a 3 percent rise in standardized math scores and higher final grades, compared to non-chompers. “Chewing gum is an easy tool students can use for an academic edge,” said Craig Johnson, PhD, the lead study researcher.

Revving Up Recall  

Munching gum also improves memory, a British review of earlier studies found. However, the reasons for this aren’t entirely clear.

One theory is that the physical act of chewing increases blood flow to the brain, a phenomenon the St. Lawrence researchers call “mastication-induced arousal.” They speculate that munching perks up attention but, since the effect is temporary, chewing gum may be most helpful before tackling the toughest questions on a test.

Beat fatigue and keep your mind sharp with these foods.

Is mint gum the new coffee?

In a 2012 study, researchers at Coventry University found that chewing mint gumdramatically reduced daytime sleepiness, without the jitters brought on by coffee. 

Study participants were randomly divided into three groups—with one-third of participants chewing gum, one-third “sham chewing” (making chewing motions with no actual gum in their mouth) and the rest not chewing—as they underwent a pupillographic sleepiness test (measuring the diameter of the eye’s pupils for 11 minutes while the person sits in a darkened room). 

The researchers theorize that the higher alertness of the gum chewers may be due to the arousing effects of the mint flavor or increased brain activity during chewing.

Smarter, Less Stressed, and Happier 

In a quirky study at Cardiff University in the UK, 133 volunteers were given demanding mental tests with and without chewing gum of randomly assigned fruit or mint flavors. To make the mental tests even more challenging, half the volunteers were forced to listen to a stress-inducing, 75-decibel noise (equivalent to standing next to a lawn mover) while trying to concentrate on the tests. The rest were tested in a quiet room.

Volunteers rated their mood before and after the testing sessions and had their heart rate monitored. Their levels of cortisol (a stress hormone that’s also a good measure of alertness) were also checked using saliva samples.

The researchers found that chewing gum was linked to greater alertness, faster reaction times on the tests, with performance actually improving as the task became harder, and enhanced attention. And here’s something else to chew on: those who munched gum were also in a better mood.   

10 cars to trade-in now for maximum return

It’s never been a better time to trade in a late-model vehicle on a new one, as dealers are going all out to amass a fresh supply of used cars and replenish what’s become a severely depleted inventory. And they’re offering top dollar for them in trade, with some of the most in-demand models in excellent condition commanding 70 percent or more of their original sticker prices as three-year-old cars.

Keep in mind those numbers are for a vehicle’s trade-in value, which can be around 15-20 percent less than the amount a dealer would ultimately ask for a reconditioned used model.

Cars To Trade-In Now For Maximum Return

While this means sky-high prices for those looking to purchase a pre-owned car, it’s a bonanza for owners of late-model cars looking to upgrade their rides. Getting more in trade for your existing car means you’ll have additional cash to use as a down payment on a new model. With interest rates at all-time lows, some owners may actually be able to whittle down their monthly car payments by trading in their existing vehicles for brand-new ones.

What’s more, the sudden run-up in trade-in/used car values could likewise be beneficial for consumers having a car coming off-lease in the coming months. Lessees can typically buy a car at the end of the contract term at a preset residual value. If that amount winds up being lower than the car’s subsequent trade-in value, it would be possible to buy the car and immediately re-sell it – perhaps even back to the original dealer – at a profit. At the least it would mean buying a good-condition used car at a below-market price.

Today’s generous trade-in values can be largely attributed to a shortage of models in the used-car market. While exact figures weren’t available, Alec Gutierrez, manager of vehicle valuation for Kelley Blue Book suggests the nation’s used-car inventory may have contracted by as much as 25 percent since 2009. This is due to depressed new-car sales and a rollback in leasing that followed the economic collapse in late 2008, along with automakers dialing down their sales to rental-car fleets, all of which diminished the number of used models returning to dealers’ lots. In addition, 677,000 used cars – albeit older and less-desirable models – were taken out of the market by the so-called “cash for clunkers” program in 2009.

In strict accordance with the laws of and demand, this has enabled the average value of a one- to three-year-old vehicle to skyrocket from $15,000 in 2008 to more than $23,000 in 2011, according to Kelley Blue Book. That’s an increase of nearly 16 percent per year for what is otherwise a depreciating asset.

Dealers are willing – and eager – to pay whatever it takes to replenish their stock of late-model used cars for the same reason legendary criminal Willie Sutton said he robbed banks: “Because that’s where the money is.” Used cars are historically a more reliable source of profits for most dealers than new models. Dealerships that handle both new and used cars made an average net profit of $252 in 2010, while they actually realized a loss of $180 for each new model sold, according to data compiled by the National Automobile Dealers Association.

It’s certainly worth your time to check the current trade-in value of your car via one of the Internet’s valuation sites, like NADA Guides or Kelley Blue Book and consider whether it’s time to cash in on the equity.

We did just that, beginning with a long list of model-year 2008 cars and trucks that Automotive Lease Guide initially predicted would retain above average residual values after three years of ownership. We then consulted NADA Guides to determine their current estimated resale values for the Chicago area, assuming for the sake of argument, that each model was considered a “clean” trade-in (meaning no mechanical defects, only minor wear and tear and a clear title) with 46,500 miles on the odometer. We went back and checked their original MSRPs (manufacturer’s suggested retail prices) as published in the Consumers Digest 2008 New-Car and Truck Buyers’ Guide to determine the percentages of value each retained. Though trade-in values from other sources and for other locations we otherwise checked varied a bit (and dealers may in practice offer more or less for a given vehicle on a given day), according to NADA Guides all of the models in our top 10 list are estimated to return at least 70 percent of their original sticker prices as of mid-January 2012.

We checked current trade-in values for both base models and higher trim levels in each model line to see which fared better. For the most part, we found that minimally equipped versions tend to retain their value slightly better than fully loaded models, which in large part results from a higher price sensitivity among used-car buyers.

1. Jeep Wrangler

The original SUV traditionally commands among the highest resale values in the industry, particularly in relatively unadorned versions that off-road enthusiasts covet to customize with aftermarket add-ons. A model-year 2008 two-door Wrangler having clocked 46,500 miles in top condition is estimated to return a whopping 90 percent of its original retail price in trade-in value. The four-door Wrangler Unlimited version fares slightly better, holding onto 91 percent of its MSRP according to NADA Guides. By comparison the off-road ready Rubicon versions – which can be too rough for casual owners – retain 77 and 84 percent of their original sticker prices.

2. Mini Cooper

While the diminutive MINI Cooper isn’t for everyone, it’s a blast to drive and is particularly popular among young urban professionals for whom attributes like back seat room and cargo space are secondary considerations. The trade-in value for a base model-year 2008 Cooper in good shape and with 46,500 miles on the odometer is estimated at 77 percent of its original MSRP, says NADA Guides.

3. Toyota Tacoma

The demand for brand-new small pickup trucks may be shrinking, yet the compact Tacoma still commands top dollar as a trade-in. The base four-cylinder standard-cab model from 2008 fares well enough at 72 percent of its original sticker price, but those owning the more practical V-6-powered four-door DoubleCab could be offered as much as 87 percent of its original price in trade on a new model.

4. Mercedes-Benz G-Class

Though we often deride the boxy military-derived uber-luxury G-Class SUV as looking like the postal vehicle for some posh gated community, NADA Guides says it holds onto its trade-in value better than any other Mercedes from model-year 2008 at 78 percent of its original MSRP.

5. Honda CR-V

NADA Guides estimates this amenable compact crossover currently commands a resale value at 77 percent of its original 2008 sticker price. Used versions are likely to be in particular demand as new-model inventories are just catching up from shortages attributed to last spring’stsunami and earthquake in Japan.

6. Toyota 4Runner

Mainstream new-car buyers may have shunned traditional truck-basedSUVs in recent years because of high gas prices, yet there’s still a market among outdoor adventurers for go-anywhere vehicles that can also tow a boat or trailer. A shortage of used models means the model-year 2008 SR5 version of Toyota’s 4Runner can be expected to command as much as 74 percent of its original sticker price as a trade-in, with the top V-8-powered Limited version lagging behind only slightly at 70 percent.

7. Ford Mustang Shelby GT500

Speed never goes out of style, with the pavement-burning top V8-powered model in the venerable Mustang line from 2008 estimated to return 73 percent of its original sticker price in trade-in value. By comparison, the 2008 GT model can be expected to hold 67 percent of its original cost in trade, with the more-passive V-6 base version worth just 67 percent of its sticker price.

8. Chevrolet Silverado 1500/GMC Sierra 1500

General Motors’ offerings lead the pack among full-size trucks with substantial trade-in values from the 2008 model year. In clean condition with 46,500 miles driven, NADA Guides estimates the Silverado and Sierra’s basic regular-cab “Work Truck” versions can command an estimated 72 percent of their original sticker prices in trade.

9. Lexus GX 460

This is essentially Lexus’ upscale version of the Toyota 4Runner, for active families who prefer a posher ride as their daily drive. NADA Guides says current model-year 2008 GX470 owners can be expected to receive as much as 70 percent of what they initially paid for their vehicles in trade-in value.

10. Toyota Tundra

A highly regarded full-size pickup that sells in far less volume than any of the domestic entries, a smaller supply in the used-car market helps the 2008 vintage retain as much as an estimated 70 percent of its original cost in resale value according to NADA Guides.

The top 7 phones at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show

Whereas last year's Consumer Electronics Show was all about Android, the surprise mindshare leader at CES 2012 is Microsoft's Windows Phone mobile operating system.

After completely reinventing the artist formerly known as Windows Mobile in late 2010, the company fleshed out and polished up the OS with the current Windows Phone 7.5 iteration. Thanks to a $1 billion partnership with Finnish giant Nokia early last year, as well as strong continued partnerships with handset makers HTC and Samsung, the Windows Phone ecosystem is set to finally come into its own in 2012.

Despite not dominating the show floor to the extent it did last year, Google's Android mobile operating system nevertheless managed a strong showing at CES 2012. Motorola announced a brace of powerful smartphones with the Droid Razr Maxx and the Droid 4, LG brought out the 4G LTESpectrum handset for Verizon, and Samsung introduced a unique entrant to that middle ground between phone and tablet with the 5.3" Galaxy Note on AT&T. Samsung also saw its flagship Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich phone, the Galaxy Nexus, leave Verizon exclusivity for Sprint.

Here's our list of of the top 7 phones at CES 2012:

1. Nokia Lumia 900

Lumia 900

The Microsoft-Nokia partnership is finally bearing fruit in the U.S., with the much-heralded Lumia family the long-awaited result. Of the 710, 800, and 900 trio, the latter is the most powerful flagship Windows Phone device of the bunch.

The Nokia Lumia 900 features a sleek and curvy design — refreshing amidst a sea of sometimes barely differentiated Android slabs. Set to be the world's first 4G LTE Windows Phone on AT&T when it launches in the coming months, the handset literally turned heads on the CES show floor with its sharp looks and 4.3" AMOLED display. Another notable feature is its 8-megapixel camera, which includes an f2.2/28mm Carl Zeiss lens that can snap wide-angle shots and performs admirably in low light settings.

2. HTC Titan II

HTC Titan II

This successor to the original HTC Titan can lay two world's first claims to its crown: it'll be the first Windows Phone handset to run on a 4G LTE network in the States (courtesy of AT&T), and features a whopping 16-megapixel camera — the highest resolution ever seen on a handset released in the U.S. market.

Beyond being the equivalent of Mecca for cameraphone enthusiasts, the HTC Titan II comes with a stable of other hardware specs to match, including a big and beautiful 4.7" Super LCD display, 1.5GHz Snapdragon processor, front-facing camera, and 16GB onboard storage.

3. Motorola Droid Razr Maxx

Droid Razr Maxx

Launched just late last year, the Motorola Droid Razr is already getting an update in the Droid Razr Maxx. The claim to fame of this new ultra-thin Android device is its extreme battery life: with a reported 21 hours of operation from a single charge, the Razr Maxx essentially doubles that of the original.

Launching as a Verizon exclusive, the 4G LTE handset runs the elder Gingerbread version of the Android OS, but a Motorola representative told us to expect an Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwichupdate in the second quarter of 2012. Also featuring an 8-megapixel camera that shoots 1080p high-definition video, a front-facing camera for video chat, and water-repellent nanoparticles that keep it safer from moisture, the Razr Maxx will be launching on January 26 for $299.99 on contract.

4. Samsung Galaxy Note

Galaxy Note

Samsung Galaxy Note took the baton from powerful, oversized superphones and ran with it. If you think the Galaxy Nexus's 4.65" screen was big, the Note might make you do a doubletake.

At first glance, the Note doesn't look like a phone at all, and you wouldn't be off base if you mistook it for a teensy little tablet. But it isn't just a gimmick: with Android ICS en route, a dazzling Super AMOLED display, support for AT&T's LTE network, and a built-in stylus that's as practical as it is fun, the Note is both flashy and feature-rich. It may pack an unpocketable 5.3" screen, but at 0.38" thick and 0.63 oz., the Note felt quite light and manageable during our time testing it out.

One thing's for sure: the Galaxy Note mini-tablet (or is it a mega-phone?) is a bold device. And while only time will tell if consumers will be intrigued or just plain puzzled, we think Samsung's smartphone experiment might just be crazy enough to work.

5. LG Spectrum

Spectrum

If you're sensing a 4G LTE trend by now, you'd be absolutely correct; even Sprint is now ditching its WiMax network in favor of LTE as its primary 4G technology. LG tossed its own contender into that ring with the LG Spectrum. Featuring a 4.5" HD display, 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 16GB storage, an 8-megapixel camera with LED flash, and support for Dolby Digital Plus, the Spectrum also supports wireless media streaming via DLNA and exclusive access to the ESPN ScoreCenter app.

The LG Spectrum will be launching as a Verizon exclusive on January 19 for $199.99 with a 2-year contract.

6. Motorola Droid 4

Droid 4

Billed as the world's thinnest 4G LTE smartphone with a full physical keyboard, the Motorola Droid 4is an Android slider running the elder Gingerbread version of the OS, but a Motorola representative told us to expect an Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update in the second quarter of 2012.

If you're one of those smartphone users who never quite fell in love with virtual keyboards, the Droid 4 could be just the ticket for you. When we tested out the QWERTY offering we found the keyboard pleasantly tactile and responsive, though you'll be trading off some physical thickness to get it.

The Droid 4 will head to Verizon in the coming weeks for an as yet undisclosed price.

7. Samsung Galaxy Nexus on Sprint

Galaxy Nexus

Everything we love about the Samsung Galaxy Nexus — its beautiful 4.65" Super AMOLED display, powerful dual-core processor, and status as the world's first phone to run the latest Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich mobile operating system — will be following the device to a second carrier when it leaves Verizon exclusivity for Sprint later this year.

Faced with a surprising dearth of new ICS handset announcements at this year's CES, we're at least happy to see consumers finally get more carrier options for the newest flavor of Android. While sharing most of the specs of its Verizon counterpart including a healthy 32GB of storage, there is one notable feature Sprint's version of the Nexus will include that the original does not: support forGoogle Wallet, the search giant's mobile payment system based on Near Field Communicationtechnology.

There's no word yet on exactly when Sprint will launch the Galaxy Nexus, but it's reasonable to expect availability around the same time the carrier launches its new LTE network sometime mid-2012.
