Google seemed to be on an update kick today as they updated a number of their apps. These apps included: Google Maps, Google Listen, Google Goggles, and the Youtube Remote. I’m sure you guys use the majority of those so I’ll outline what’s new in each app for you after the break.

Sega promised to bring its Sonic 4 franchise to Android and even showed off Episode 2 which is set to hit Tegra devices sometime this year. While that news was exciting, we were still missing the episode that started it all — Episode 1. Well guess what? That iconic blue hedgehog has spun his way into the Android Market and is ready to pick up where he and Knuckles left off.

The Dolphin browser is one of the most popular 3rd party browsers available and they are constantly adding new features to remain one step ahead of their competition. Today they have announced a couple of new add-ons that are sure to get Dolphin users excited. Teaming up with Evernote, Dolphin has added not only an Evernote add-on but also one for Skitch as well.

Our favorite music-in-the-cloud service has received a pest control update. Nothing major has been included but they have fixed a couple nasty bugs. These fixes are related to shuffle mode and multiple accounts. If you’ve been having issues with either of these functions, you should be all patched up and ready to go.

Google Maps was updated to version 6.1.1 today. It seems to be a fairly minor update, with the only listed change being “Fixes for bugs on tablets and phones.” Personally, I haven’t been having any issues, but it’s been reported that certain Honeycomb tablets had issues starting the Navigation app as well as quite a few phones experiencing problems with making phone calls from search results within Google Maps.
