Back in August, we featured Google's then-new Android Device Manager, allowing users to remote-wipe and locate their device in a similar vein to Apple's Find My iPhone service. It was apparent at the time that a dedicated Android app was imminent, and now, it has finally arrived over at the Google Play Store. More details as well as the direct download link can be found right after the break.
Spotify has emerged during the last few years as one of the leading music streaming services around, and although it operates a subscription model, those simply registering an account have been able to listen to tracks on some devices, albeit supported by ads. Now, Spotify has decided to change the way in which free listening works, and if you happen to be an iPad or an Android tablet owner, it's a change for the better.
GTA San Andreas is now live on the iOS App Store worldwide. Download link can be found at the end of this post. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is undoubtedly one of our most beloved PS2-era games, which is why when we found out that Rockstar was bringing the game to iOS, Android and Windows Phone, we got very excited indeed. The thought of tearing it up in San Andreas while on our commutes just gets us all sweaty, and in a very good way.
The introduction and rise to prominence of the cloud in recent years has made the rigmarole of file sharing a whole lot less cumbersome. Moreover, mobile devices needn't be packed to the gills with storage space, for the cloud can hoard stuff we don't immediately need in a secure unit. This, of course, is a pretty idealistic view, since a lot of folks still like to retain files on a device for convenience or offline viewing, and if you've ever wished you could share said files without having to find some kind of Web-based middleman, PhotoFast's i-FlashDrive has your back.
The Angry Birds franchise continues to march on, and following a plethora of titles so far, Angry Birds Go has just hit the App Store, Google Play, BlackBerry World and, yes, even the Windows Phone Store. It's rare to see an app or game of any description release simultaneously for these three major ecosystems, but whatever your poison, you can now enjoy some enthralling go-kart action from the loveable characters of Angry Birds Go!
The Xbox One might only have been out for a couple of weeks, but it was always inevitable that a system update would not be too far behind. With the console now in the hands of millions of users, the process of refining the experience can finally commence, and as per a blog post by Major Nelson, there are plenty of tweaks and alterations with the Xbox One's inaugural system update.
A number of sources in the past have suggested that Nokia might’ve been building its own Android powered device to compete with the likes of Samsung and HTC in the lower-end of the smartphone market. At present, It's unknown if the project will ever be officially given the green light to proceed, but it's existence, according to a new report, is enough to peak our interest.
Every year, a new trend seems to hit the smartphone market, and if it isn't large displays or gold color configurations, then it's the manufacturers' new found love for a curved display. Naturally, Samsung was first to the draw with the Galaxy Round, closely followed by its compatriot LG with the impressive G Flex, and although an iPhone featuring an angled panel would seem quite a way off right now, a newly-awarded patent suggests that the Cupertino company is very much considering it.
The joys of owning a Nexus device, besides from the fact that it's both cheap and great value for that low cost, is that you get the full, uninhibited Android experience as Google intended. As such, when the Big G decides to throw out updates, you're always among the first in line, and those OEM / carrier complications won't leave you waiting for months on end for the latest version. Today, Google has begun releasing Android 4.4.2 KitKat (build number KOT49H) for certain Nexus devices, bringing a bunch of bug fixes and general performance enhancements. More after the break.
Google's Nexus 7 is still one of the best Android tablets on the market, even after six months of being on the market. With half a year having passed and the competition still unable to topple it from its throne, Google's ASUS-made 7-inch tablet is getting something of a refresh today - but only if you're in the US, UK or Japan.
