With all the news of mobile malware, especially on Android, being on the rise, we thought we should do a little post listing some of the most critically acclaimed and popular security apps for Android devices. Check them out after the jump!
Ever accidently delete an important file on your computer? We’ve all been there, but thanks to the availability of Recycle Bins on desktop OSes and recovery tools like Recuva, you can get your data back. Now, with a new app we came across today, you can recover deleted content on your Android smartphone! Check it out after break!
Torrenting is one of the primary ways internet users snatch their digital content. Whilst most of the media available on the top public sites falls on the wrong side of the law in terms of copyright infringement, the actual act of downloading and seeding torrents is perfectly legal and accounts for a high portion of bandwidth use.
As people who find themselves taking screenshots of apps almost every day, and then uploading them to various online hosting sites and social networks, not to mention Redmond Pie, we're often left scrambling around trying to add a watermark to our work. It's a necessary evil of the online world, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
So, the one thing that has annoyed me the most on my HTC Sensation with the internet browser and Android Market 3.x is the fact that both take way too long to load up anything! I thought it was partly due to the amount of junk that loads on the screen the moment I open it, but apparently it is due to other issues; namely DNS resolution over WiFi.
Google is currently rolling out a somewhat significant update to Android Market right now; we’ve discussed its new features and even have a direct download link of its APK after the break!
Those of you keeping up with developments in the world of iOS gaming may remember how we told you, not so long ago, that Rockstar's epic game, Grand Theft Auto 3 is on its way to both the iPhone and the iPad. Pretty awesome, right?
Last year, Adobe introduced an amazing new feature called Content-Aware Fill to their popular graphics editing program Photoshop. The feature was based on a technology called in-painting which allowed users to remove unwanted objects from their otherwise perfect photograph in a very easy way. Today, we came across an app called TouchRetouch which lets you do the same, albeit on an Android smartphone and it is what we’ll be talking about in this post.
I’m sure readers of Redmond Pie already know about Find My Friends. It’s a location tracking app developed by Apple which was released on October 12th alongside iOS 5. I don’t know if it is fair to say this, but Find My Friends is definitely Apple’s version of Google Latitude - an imitation, essentially, of a similar service which all Android smartphones have been offering since 2009. It feels rather odd seeing an innovative company like Apple doing the copying (especially after calling 2011 “Year of the Copycats” in March). The copying done here, though, is not your regular half-hearted stuff: Apple has added some nifty features which sets their location-tracking tool apart from Google Latitude.
One of the most attractive features of Google’s Android OS is just how customizable it is. Enthusiasts can personalize every nook and cranny of their device so that no two Android devices look exactly the same. Thanks to its relative “openness”, you can make your Android phone look like a Windows Phone 7 device, a Symbian OS-powered device and, of course, an iPhone.
