During Google’s keynote yesterday at I/O 13, the team unveiled a lot of new and updated services that should be hitting all of us relatively soon, get excited! The apps and services that we will be talking about include Play Music, Books, Talk/Hangouts and more. Be sure to keep a watch on all these apps over the next few months, as we will, to spot any new feature. Let’s get into all t... »
We finally officially found out yesterday that Google Hangouts (what was once Babel) is real and it is Google’s first step in unifying our messaging service on the platform. Unfortunately it is not the end all to all the different service as of yet but it does kill off talk (and soon Messenger perhaps) in becoming the unification that it needs to be. What’s all included and what will b... »
The launcher that customizes your phone for you One of the strongest selling points of the Android platform is its customization features. With the ability to switch, swap and create our own themes, home-screens, backgrounds, widgets, icons, etc; Android provides us with more options to personalize than any of the other OS platforms combined. The problem however, is with so many options, it can a... »

It seems like the team over at Twitter Inc is really putting in some work on their Android app, despite denying us Twitter #Music which is available on iOS. They recently did a major UI and functionality update, introducing the Holo design to the app, and are not giving us more features to utilize. I suppose they finally realized that we, unlike iDevice users, actually have a menu button that can ... »
You read the title right, one of the major third-party keyboards for Android, Swype, is now finally on the Play Store, after being a beta only download from the Swype website for 3 years. I have no idea why they waited so long, but atleast anyone can easily grab the keyboard now. They sure do have competition between Swiftkey (my personal fave), Kii keyboard, and none other than the Stock Android ... »
If you aren’t using stock keyboard, or those others on (and off) the market, and decided to stick with Thumb Keyboard as your choice of input then you’re in for a treat, as Thumb Keyboard was update today. In this update you can get great new fonts and a fix to the dreaded memory problem that plagued the app in recent versions. Thumb Keyboard, by Beansoft, was updated to version 4.6.3 ... »
After creating arguably one of the best Twitter apps on the Play Store, Joaquim Verges keeps the app and his rep going higher by constantly updating the app and adding new features. Today he updated Falcon Pro and included many offline features and translations, even after the recent big update that happened last week. He’s on fire! Falcon is now at version 1.8.2 and includes this changelog ... »
Well it’s the end of the week and before I go out and party and drink (I’m lying, I’m going to be on my computer all night), I thought that I should let you all know what’s be updated in the Android world lately. We have a few apps this time, even a few Google ones (that’s always a joy). So sit back, open the Play Store and prepare to press the update all button. Also... »
That’s right everyone (prepare for a short article) the Play Store has already been updated, again. The new Card UI version shipped just last week, and I’m sure it was really buggy. The previous version was 4.0.25, and you can read all about it HERE, and this version only changes the build number to .26 — so we’re guessing just bug fixes. This WILL be pushed as with any oth... »
