Google has a history of leaving projects in beta testing for absurd lengths of time (Gmail lasted five years with a beta tag). So, when Google launched its long-awaited music service this summer under a beta tag, with the proviso that it was “free, for now” there was some concern about whether users could really […]
Two stories regarding the Apple App store caught our eyes this morning. Comic book news site Bleedingcool reports that the recently released Complete Tintin App, selling for a mere $5, is nothing of the sort. Instead, it’s allegedly an unofficial app, and the copies are pirated scans. With the Steven Moffat-penned movie due out soon, […]
Since the launch of Google+, the search giant has been on a mission to unify their major services with a common theme and user interface. The clean white pages with grey toolbars were first introduced to us in the young social network, but it quickly became clear that this was the new face of Google. […]
NetMarketShare, an internet statistics firm, announces each month the breakdown of mobile web traffic between OSes. October’s results are definitely different from what a seasoned Android fanboy would expect.

Back in August, I reviewed the Sony GoogleTV I had just purchased. At the time, one of my complaints about the otherwise enjoyable unit involved its often confusing on-screen menus. Today, Google announces a major software update rolling out to Sony GoogleTVs early next week and to Logitech hardware shortly thereafter. I’m techcited to report […]

Since the first revitalization of Motorola with original Droid back in November 2009, Motorola has […]
Google’s long-awaited new flagship device, the Galaxy Nexus was officially announced last night. It’s a powerhouse of a phone, sporting a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, a 720p HD Super AMOLED display, and a camera that can record video in 1080p, just for starters. There are LTE and HSPA+ versions of the device, which means we […]
[yframe url=’http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbI1uKqcqrA’] The headlines from CTIA 2011 may be a bit subdued after Samsung and Google postponed their big announcement, but that doesn’t mean there wasn’t anything awesome to look at from the show. I managed to get a hands-on with the HTC Sensation XL, which may be the first cell phone to come with […]
BGR reports that the next flagship Android phone, codenamed Nexus Prime, will actually be the Galaxy Nexus. The first phone to run Android 4.0 a.k.a. Ice Cream Sandwich is allegedly going to be unveiled at next Tuesday’s Samsung event. Exclusive to Verizon, the Nexus Galaxy will be pure Android, untainted by TouchWIZ much like the […]
Every night at 12:15 AM Pacific, Amazon gives away a free paid app through their Amazon app store. As I am usually awake at 12:15 AM Pacific, why not let you know if today’s app is useful, or just more clutter in your app drawer?
