The current spat between Google and Oracle has already thrown up one or two interesting tidbits, and we are all beginning to get a little insight into both the early days of Android and indeed the process which was followed in order to bring it to market. Just how Google sees Android within its larger business model has also been under scrutiny of late, with its profitability coming into question.
With little over a week before Samsung finally takes the wraps off the Galaxy S III, the tech world is doing its level best to reveal what the device is going to look like.
With smartphones and tablets packing in more, higher-spec hardware with each new iteration, it can sometimes seem as though your device is performing a million tasks at once.
The wraps have finally been taken off Google's mythical Google Drive online storage and collaboration service, with the news first being leaked via Google's own French blog.

No matter how anxious tech fans are becoming in their endeavor to meet Samsung's Galaxy S III, the Korean consumer electronics giant is giving absolutely nothing away.

Google's comparatively new mobile OS trumps Apple's offering in terms of reach and activations, but according to research compiled by ad network Chitika, iOS users are a lot more active on the Web than their Android-toting friends.
We often rely on the experts in specific fields to divulge information unbeknown to the tech world, but sometimes, the direction of the tide is impossible to overlook, leaving said experts with no choice but to state the obvious. NVIDIA’s Mike Rayfield has done exactly that, commenting on how much closer mobile gaming is getting to the console experience.
