Blackberry applications have moved one step relate   to controlling our lives. Dodge recently announced that it has launched owner’s manual apps on the Android, Blackberry, and iphone platforms. The apps offer a range of quality that supplement and enhance the existing hard-copy manuals and DVDs that come with Dodge vehicles.

First   these apps are portable, easily navigable owner’s manuals. Need to know what that flashing light on your dash is trying to tell you, or where you’ll find the jack in your new car? A couple of clicks through the app, and you’re in business. Handy video clips provide overviews of certain features. Dodge also points out that it can update the apps on a regular basis with warranty info and such The apps also allow users to identify and find parts, and in the case of emergency, they can connect users to Customer Care and summon 24-hour roadside assistance. There’s even a social media feature that puts Dodge owners in contact with fellow owners and enthusiasts.

The first apps to hook into the Drop box API, “Drop box anywhere,” are the local area sharing client Air Sharing (which this editor considers a must-install iPhone/iPod touch app), the Quick Office mini-office suite, Sprite Mobile backup, the Dictums dictation app, and document viewer Good Reader. Drop box serves as the easy transfer and storage means for the apps, and ideally makes them available everywhere you want to work on them. On the ipad, in particular, this fills out some of the “actually work on the thing” functionality you’ve heard about, but probably haven’t seen a real test case for.

On to what’s actually out right now—the Android app. It does not, as you might think, instantly sync all your Drop box files to space on your phone or microSD card. Instead, it’s a convenient place to download individual files, view documents in both Drop box’s own basic viewer and your installed apps, and, most helpfully, quickly create and share documents. Press and hold on any file, and you can copy, email, or use Android’s Share function to pass around a link for select access.
