We all love a remake of an old classic title, and thanks to the accessibility and popularity of the likes of the App Store and Google Play Store, developers have a suitable medium for reworking and distributing those games that really push our nostalgic buttons. We've seen the remakes of GTA III and Vice City; we've got our SEGA fix with the likes of Sonic CD, and now another old favorite - Transport Tycoon - is to make a sensational comeback on Apple's iOS App Store and Google’s Play Store in the near future. Details can be found after the leap!
If you’re at all tech savvy, chances are high that you’ll be a movie junkie as well. And if you qualify this criteria, one of your top visited websites has to include IMDb.
Being a blogger, especially for the tech industry, time to time I come across utilities and tools that are so basic and simple in their working, yet package such convenience that one cannot help but question how we’d survived until now without such a thing. For people who play around a lot with Android and love to modify their devices, having multiple sets of different APKs on their computer is nothing too surprising or even worrisome. What’s annoying, however, is to have several APK files lying around in a folder that you cannot recognize, nor can you even tell what they are unless you install them.
HTC's One smartphone has caused something of a stir twice now. The first time was because it was released in its original guise, and mainly because it's a stunning Android phone and one of the big contenders for best Android phone on the market. The second time was because HTC launched it as a Google Play Edition handset, free of HTC's own software.
Digital SLRs provide the most enhanced level of photography in the entire industry, but their almost inherent lack of Wi-Fi capability has seen lower-level point-and-shoot devices to fill in a gap for those serial sharers. Those familiar will recall the DSLR Controller app, which bridged the gap between Canon EOS shooters and the world wide web via an Android device, and now, Chainfire has come through another hacker's special involving a create-your-own Wi-Fi Stick.
A report from Digitimes has suggested that ASUS and Google's highly anticipated follow-up to the Nexus 7 could be launched as soon as late this month, with the tech blog citing "Taiwan-based supply chain makers" in forecasting a July-August release frame. The second-gen slate could, continues the report, feature a 7-inch 1980x1200 resolution display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 SoC and unlike the first version, a rear-facing camera. More details can be found right after the jump.
It's been a time for Android users and OEMs alike of late, specifically with the news that Google's mobile operating system has had a major security flaw ever since the Android 1.6 days. Considering that's quite some time now, it has left many feeling somewhat uneasy about the state of security on the platform, and rightly so.
When it comes to Android smartphones, only the Samsung Galaxy S range can stake a claim to being more keenly sought than a new Nexus handset, and while talk of an LG-manufactured Nexus 5 has been rife for a good while now, a Korean site claims the device will arrive in October. Notably, the Nexus 5 will run on Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie, and with a high-end spec list to match, could be a killer device to challenge the collaborative effort from Motorola and Google.
Google not only vends the Android operating system, but also a lot of quality apps for smartphones and tablets running the said OS. Time to time, Google keeps bringing a much-anticipated and completely radical update to one of its apps that usually prove to be a game changer in most cases. This time around, the app to receive such an update is the famous Google Maps, pushing the version number to 7.0 and gradually rolling out globally for Android (iOS update still to follow).
It's been said on more than one occasion that iOS has now introduced a number of features that were pioneered by the Android platform, so it seems only fitting that Android dedicated developers are now starting to feel "inspired" by Apple's iOS 7 beta Control Center feature. Rather than re-imagining that feature, Hi Tools Studio has pretty much just recreated Control Center for Android users, literally, and it’s even called Control Center!
