Best Road Trip Apps for Your Summer Vacation
While your road atlas collects dust in the car-door bin, your kids in the back seat are ignoring the DVD player and tapping away at their tablets and smartphones.Mobile devices have become inseparable companions for millions of Americans hitting the road this year for summer vacation. In just a few years, it's become unfathomable to start a trip without essential smartphone tools -- GPS maps, weather updates, camera, Yelp -- at your fingertips.
The travel category has remained popular among app developers, and choices for handy travel apps have widened in recent years. They range from money savers like GasBuddy to fun time-killers that digitize the nostalgic road games we played in our childhood (spotting license plates, road sign bingo).
Here are some apps to consider this summer before heading out the door. Don't forget to pack a car phone charger. Running apps, particularly GPS, will drain the battery more quickly.

Free - Available on iOS, Android, BlackBerry, Windows PhoneGas Buddy is a mobile version of the Web site GasBuddy.com, which shows nearby gas stations and current prices that are updated by users. The app lets you sort stations based on your current location.

Roadside America
$2.99 - Available on iOSSerendipitous discoveries are often the most memorable moments of a road trip. This app makes finding offbeat local treasures a little less serendipitous. By selecting a U.S. region, say Northeast, users can unlock a list of odd and...

Fuji Xerox shows e-paper colors without filter
(Phys.org) -- Fuji Xerox has come up with an electrophoretic type electronic paper (e-paper) prototype that can realize a color display without using a color filter. The company showcased the e-paper model at SID Display Week 2012, which ran this week in Boston. The Fuji Xerox model has a screen size of 5 inches, pixel count of 600 x 800, resolution of 200dpi, gradation of four, reflectance of 30 percent and contrast ratio of 10:1. Without the filter, the paper can render a color display that is brighter and more vivid, said the company. Its color e-paper concept involves moving colored particles for each color. -
